It may sound obvious, but it is important to arrive early for your presentation. Many times, there are minor technical problems – with the computer, with the internet connection, with the projector…

Those problems can usually be solved if there are a few extra minutes. Arriving early also lowers your stress. You know you have time to fix any technical problems if there are any. If there aren’t, it gives you a chance to calmly rehearse your presentation one last time.
