Create an Outline

Having an outline for your presentation can help make it easier when building your materials and running the live presentation. An outline can help you map out key points, consider the order of your content and plan visuals.

Is your presentation intended to educate your audience, to persuade them to a point of view, to sell something, to market yourself? Consider what you want to accomplish. It may help to consider your audience when deciding your goal.

Think of the main points that need to be told to convey the story of your presentation and list them in an outline. You can also add sub-points. Once you have the points listed, you can consider the order to put them in.
