Summary
It is time to stand up and deliver. Delivering a successful presentation is about taking control: you are in charge. As a presenter, the scene is yours, and the audience is there for you. In Chapter 5, we will show you how to assume control over your own presentation. We address such topics such as controlling audio and light, picking the best spot from which to deliver your presentation, the use of a pointer, the role of a session chair, and even what (not) to wear.
