                           “The audience only pays attention as long as you know where you are
                           going.”

                                     HOW TO SUMMARIZE A PRESENTATION

                           Summarizing a presentation provides the opportunity to leave a lasting
                           impression on the audience. The concluding remarks of a presentation
                           are  what  usually  sticks  in  the  audience's  head.  At  one  level,  the

                           actual presentation and only heard the summary, they should have a
                           good idea about the essence of the presentation.

                           The conclusion: brief and to the point
                                 Zooming  out  can  be  a  valuable  tool  near  the  end  of  a
                                  presentation,  when  you  remind  the  audience  once  again  that
