Coping when things go WRONG !!
Don’t panic! Often your audience may not
even know that something has gone wrong.
Take time to breathe and consider what to do
next.
Focus on purpose or concentrate on the
overall reason for your presentation to make
less error in presentation.
Trust yourself or be confident about the
presented subject. Allow your natural
creativity to take wing.
Coping when things go WRONG !!
Use Humour – this can often be a
lifesaver for all kinds of presentation
disasters.
Stay present. Be aware of what is
happening around you so that you can
respond against the unexpected
problems.
Tell the truth to the audience.

Involve the audience in tackling the

issue.
Risk. All presentations are a risk. If
you have been in a situation learn from
it and move on.
