Possibly the most neglected of PowerPoint presentation skills is the skill of preparation including practice and rehearsal.
Most people invest time in preparing their PowerPoint slides but do not practice their PowerPoint presentation skills.
Practice your PowerPoint presentation skills on your family and friends. Consider videotaping your practice and objectively review your practice. It can be advisable to ask someone to review your video as many times it is difficult to be objective.
Check out the room you where the presentation is to take place. If there is time run through your presentation to get a familiar with the room. It also give a chance to discover and eliminate any possible technical hitches.
Preparation can be boring but it is probably the most important of PowerPoint presentation skills to be proficient in. It is like an actor rehearsing for a play
