  • Helping the audience remember your take-home message
  • Following 10 simple tips to create slides that reflect your authority and competence in your field
  • Recognizing and using standard words and phrases that help you (i) gain attention to emphasize important points and (ii) pinpoint exactly what part of a slide you are referring to
  • Preparing effective notes (that match your level of proficiency in English) to support your presentation of the slides
