Abstract

Abstract: Many of you, like me, will have given countless presentations throughout your career and to wide and varied audiences. I too, like many of you, have never been formally taught how to present, if that is such a thing. So, I got to thinking: in any case, who are "expert presenter" teachers? Some people have it and some people do not – right? In this short piece, I explore what it is to present, how this evolves, and try to pin down the why rather than the how and give you a little insight into my haphazard journey along this process.
