Tips
Show Stories, Not Data:
Stories and relationships are often more inspirational than showing data. At every stage of your workshop, think about ways to make it personal with stories, pictures, or videos of your life. Focus on a Subject: When you are thinking about how to share about your country, career, or culture, don’t just discuss generalities, focus on a few specific parts that are meaningful to you. During the brainstorming phase, pay attention to what topics are most exciting to you. |

Sketch it out:
Use paper and pencil to draw and write out your ideas.
Make it Interesting:
At every stage of your presentation, think, “How can I make it interesting with visuals, music, props, or activities?”
Be Passionate:
Ask yourself “Am I passionate about my message?” The single most important rule of a great presentation is to speak about what you love and what you know well. Let that enthusiasm show. People are drawn to passion.
