Katie

In 1995 I attended a small English-learning school located in Tokyo. I met a pretty little British woman there. Her name is Kate. But she preferred to be called Katie. In three weeks I was going to give a presentation in the US. But I didn't know how to get things done.
To my surprise she volunteered that she would be my teacher and tell me how to give a speech.
I showed her my draft.
Immediately she pulled out index cards out of her handback. She wrote down key words on five cards.

1. Greetings---Good afternoon, Good evening...

2. Introduction--Today I'd like to talk about...

3.Body.....the reason I selected this subject is....., the current issue is that.. in my opinion...

4.Conclusion---Last but not least...., I'd like to leave you with this message...

5.Closing----That wraps up my presentation...,
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me
I'd be delighted to answer your questions

The she went up to a make-shift podium and talked about the subject.
I was astounded that she finished up the presentation, although she had no knowledge about my job. Come to think of it, there are formalities when I go through a presentation. Once you attained that it is piece of pie.
It's interesting to note that even if you are not confident of your answer, you just put up a brave front and keep saying "plase feel free to ask me..." That is a sure fire way to end the speech and let them think you are an expert on the subject.

Thank you for your attention.
