The purpose of any presentation is to clearly demonstrate what you have learned or a conclusion you have recently come to, When creating a Presentation you must have a goal of how the information needs to be shared. The book points out the importance of creative briefs, this basically means 'the content of your presentation should solely focus on addressing the presentations goals.

Remember to prepare for any thing that comes your way. Make sure to be physical with your presentations. People are physical creatures and much of our communication is through actions and facial expressions so stay involved with your clients, keep eye contact and look throughout the room.
