Tips to make a great presentation!  one of the greatest challenges when making a presentation is to prepare for it. Most of us sit down, pick up a sheet of paper, and our minds go blank. We don't know where to start. Or we may have so many ideas that we don't know how to organise them. Or we don't have enough information to choose a format or decide on the points to be covered.And this is why I recommend the book Use Both Sides Of Your Brain, by Tony Buzan. It helps put presentations on the right track. A significant part of the book outlines a technique which Tony calls Mind Mapping. This reduces the time it takes to develop a presentation, a report, an article, or a letter by approximately 50 percent.Mind Mapping also allows you to use words to visually relate concepts and information in ways that are more enlightening than note taking or outlining.this helps in deciding how you want to present the information. It also enables you to focus on the content and the sequence of the content. A mind map helps you see not only what is there, but also what is missing.Here are the fundamental aspects of Mind Mapping:1. Start with your central thought. 2. Be free-flowing. 3. Use only key words. 4. Allow yourself to bounce around5. Feel free to connect things that relate6. Try short bursts. Time yourself for five minutes. Then take a break. Sit back. Look at your mind map. Do something else. Then, spend another five minutes adding, modifying and adjusting. Remember, Mind Mapping is your tool. Let it work for you. Many people, when exposed to Mind Mapping, say, "I could never show this to my boss." A mind map is not necessarily for others. It is primarily for yourself. Use the mind map, not as a report, but to dictate or type the report.

Use it to make sure that all the elements you want in the report are there before you start.
