How to get the right timing of your presentation?

In some cases the content of what you need to cover will determine the timing of your presentation. However this may not be always the case. In some instances the time that you have for your presentation will drive the content that you can and should cover. The timing may be driven by the occasion or when you will need to present.

For example if you need to give a presentation starting at 17:00h on a Friday afternoon, your audience will not appreciate a very lengthy presentation. Also when you need to give a presentation or speech just before the start of a party, your audience is probably not motivated to listen to you for more than 20 minutes… Therefore it is important to consider the timing of your presentation and based on this determine what you need to cover in terms of content. Filter your messaging to only cover the key points in a concise and engaging manner.
