PRESENTATION B Y B R
I G H T C A R B O N

Twas the night before the
conference

Delegates tucked away in bed

But Judy wasn’t sleeping

For her mind was filled
with dread

It was her presentation

That left her feeling sick

No calming tea or counting
sheep 1 2 3 4

Would even do the trick

The gremlins they were lurking

She counted one and all
Juuuudy

‘What if I forget my
lines? Hello, my name is...

Or off the stage I
take a fall?’ Is there a doctor?

‘I might stumble over all
my words mumbo jumbo

And say not what I
mean I’m confused.

Then no one will want
our wares

And I’ll let down the
whole team.’ T H E N E W S JUDY, FIRED!

‘What if I lose my
train of thought

And let my throat go
dry!?

I’ll be a presentation frog!’

Then poor Judy starts to
cry.

The gremlins they were laughing

They’d prove poor Judy right

But coming softly on the
wind:

An intervention that was BRIGHT

‘Oh Judy, why this upset?’

The Presentation Fairy said.

‘I have tips and tricks
and cheats

For you to put inside
your head.’

‘First, its not that scary,

Look for faces that you
know, TED STEVE KAREN

They’ll help to put your
mind at ease I’m amazing.

And you’ll soon find you
have a flow.' And I’m almost finished. I’m amazing.

‘But what about disasters?’

Said poor Judy, vexed,

‘Like a nuclear meltdown,

Or on the front row
sits my ex!?’ TED STEVE KAREN brad

‘The only way to really
2

Be at ease with what
you do 2

Is to practice jolly hard
at it— 2

In front of a camera
too!

‘There you’ll see just what
you look like,

From the viewer’s point of
view

You’ll know what it is
they’re thinking I understand everything.

Because you’ve seen it too!

‘Try not to sit and
learn a script, Hello INHALE My name is Judy. EXHALE

And recite it as it
is. Hello, my name is Judy. Zzzzz

Instead it’s best to have
some notes HELLO JUDY

And rehearse the general gist.
FACTS HELLO JUDY

This helps it stick inside
your brain. FACTS HELLO JUDY FACTS HELLO JUDY

As you know it through
and through. FACTS HELLO JUDY FACTS HELLO JUDY FACTS HELLO JUDY

Then if something should occur

You can pick up right
on cue. Facts!

‘But the best advice I
have for you 3

Regards the slides themselves

If they’re dull and boring

Your dreams might as well
get shelved. GAME OVER

‘Instead they must be visual

With good design to boot.

Just that and no bad
bullets

Will help you sell your
loot.

Interaction is what we aim
for,

And harmony besides

Between our lovely Judy

And her equally lovely slides.

‘At last I think I’ve
got it!’

Judy laughed aloud.

‘I’m really not that scared
now,

And of my slides, I’m
proud.’

The Presentation Fairy smiled.
