So you need to give a presentation. You’ve got PowerPoint fired up and the audience is ready. The presentation is all set, all that is left to do is – present. The presentation is ready – are you? Here’s how to make your presentation a success.Talk SlowAn easy mistake people often make is rushing. And there’s no quicker way to tell the audience that you aren’t comfortable with public speaking than to speed through your presentation. Talk very slowly, even if it’s uncomfortable. You always talk faster than you think you do, so slow your roll.Don’t Read Off the SlidesPlease, please, PLEASE don’t read directly off slides. A good presentation displays the main topic or broad points, allowing you to elaborate through your speech. If all of the information you are discussing is on the slides, what purpose do you serve? Your audience can presumably read; don’t read the presentation to themBe Excited About Your TopicHopefully the topic you are presenting is one you are both interested and knowledgeable in. Your enthusiasm should show! You don’t have to be hopping up and down, but you should have a level of energy that makes people want to listen to you. An enthusiastic presentation about a dull topic will be far more captivating than a low-energy presentation about an exciting topic.Practice-Practice-Practice!No one does anything perfectly the first time they try it. Chances are, your presentation won’t be perfect the first time either. Make sure the first time you present isn’t at the actual presentation itself! Run through it in empty room, run through it front of coworkers, heck, present it to your pet! Just make sure you do a few practice runs beforehand.Another trick is to present in front of someone who isn’t familiar with the topic. This is a good way to have questions asked you might have overlooked, and prepares you for the questions a crowd might throw at you.Don’t Sweat ItFinally, don’t worry! You’ll be fine. Take a deep breath, and head on out there. Your audience awaits you.Angie GoldmanMarketing Analyst, Marketing Technology
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
