The structure of your presentation refers to the order in which you present your content and make your argument. Be strategic about structuring your presentation to make it more persuasive and easier to follow.
It pays off to invest a little time into identifying the right structure for your presentation:
The best time to try different structures is when you have thought about your audience, determined your goals and collected your content ideas. Then you can play around with different content structures to see which you like most in terms of flow, efficiency and persuasiveness.
It seems to work quite well if you can divide your presentation in three main parts, since this makes for a manageable amount of items in your preview. Five and seven are also common.
You can help your audience navigate your presentation by announcing your structure early on the presentation and then updating them along the way on the progress you have made.
By sticking to a clear structure, your message becomes easier to absorb.
