17. Presentation Strategy
A good strategy for giving presentations is to
follow this rule: tell them what you’re going to
tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you
told them. Giving people a roadmap, following
the roadmap, and then reminding them about
where they went will help make the points in
your presentation stick in their minds more
effectively.
