The intro/outro is not an agenda, but a summary of the key things you want people to remember from your presentation.

Example:

1. Today I’m going to show you how I make gold from toilet paper. You can do this too, you just need 3 sheets of toilet paper.

2. I developed this process myself in a caravan in my front garden, blah blah blah. (Explain the process)

3. And that’s how you make gold from toilet paper. You can do this too - go and get your 3 sheets of toilet paper, and give it a go!

It may not be a great presentation, but people are more likely to come away from it remembering what you wanted them to remember because you made those points so clear. Great presentations do break these rules, but you’re more likely to be confusing than great.

Better to be dry and clear than attempt to be interesting while leaving your audience lost.
