Introduction

Your presentation matters—and sometimes, DIY tricks just don’t cut it. That’s why I created Presentation Urgent Care: to provide rapid, expert support when the pressure is on.

Here are three practical adjustments designed to strengthen any presentation—whether you’re using slides, notes, or speaking off the cuff.

Tip #1: Cut the Clutter

Symptom: Too much text, too many points, or a message that drifts.

Quick Tip:

  • Focus on 3 key points only.

  • Each should be short enough to explain in a breath.

  • Drop the extras—if it doesn’t serve your message, it doesn’t belong.

Benefit: Your audience may follow more easily and remember what matters most if you keep it simple.

Tip #2: Strengthen Your Opening

Symptom: You start with your name, job title, or an agenda slide → audience tunes out.

Quick Tip:

  • Begin with a story, a surprising fact, or a powerful question.

  • THEN introduce yourself and your topic.

    Benefit: This approach is designed to capture attention right away and set the tone for a stronger connection.

Tip #3: Tame the Nerves

Symptom: Anxiety shows up—racing words, shaky hands, blanking out.

Quick Tip:

  • Inhale deeply.

  • Exhale slowly for 3–5 seconds to reset your nervous system.

  • Plant your feet, pause, and then begin.

Benefit: This may help you feel steadier and give your words more weight.

Bonus Tip: Practice! Practice! Practice!

Practice doesn’t make perfect.
Practice makes you consistent, comfortable, and familiar with your material.

Even a few hours of rehearsal can help you feel more confident, poised, and in command of your topic.

(Pro tip: Record yourself on your phone giving your presentation, then watch it back. You’ll spot easy improvements—and notice strengths you didn’t realize you had.)
