Here are four prime no-no’s when giving shortlistee presentations:
1. Don’t use lots of unexplained technical jargon to make yourself sound smart.
(NB: The same advice applies to your written submissions.)
2. Don’t let everyone know how important you are.
3. Don’t recite your presentation from memory or sound as though you are.
4. Don’t cram your slides with numerous text bullet points in multiple fonts.
