How can you communicate your product design story in a presentation?
When technical issues arise in your presentation, which is inevitable given enough time, try and view it as an audience member would. Share your frustrations with them but keep it lighthearted. The phrase "Is there an IT person in the house?" has saved me on more than one occasion and made the audience sympathetic to my situation. Having a few quips such as this in your pocket can help you ease your way out of many sticky situations.

How can you communicate your product design story in a presentation?
Quick Tip For Those Who Are Nervous Presenters: While presenting, the opening few minutes are the most challenging as it is the point where one is most likely to let their fear of public speaking get the better of them. Of course, rehearse your presentation at least 5 times, but MEMORIZE your first minute or so to where you can do it in your sleep. This will lower your anxiety dramatically as the focus turns to you, and ease you into your flow while delivering your narrative. This technique is a true life hack for those of us who would rather ingest a mild poison than speak in public... but have to anyway.
