    GUIDELINES FOR WORKSHOP PRESENTATION:


     Make eye contact and react to the audience. Don't read from the transparencies or
    from report, and don't look too much at the transparencies (occasional glances are
    acceptable to help in recalling the topic to cover).
     A 15-minute presentation can be practiced several times in advance, so do that until
    you are confident enough. Some people also use a mirror when rehearsing as a
    substitute for an audience.
