Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

Why do nice guys rarely or never win?

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.
