I believe you should think of your presentation as a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, each with a set time limit. Use the "elevator pitch" technique to distill your key points into concise, powerful statements. Instead of covering everything, focus on creating a compelling narrative around your main idea and leave the audience wanting more. Consider using unexpected visuals or metaphors to convey complex ideas quickly. You could also time yourself with a timer or an app that provides subtle reminders to stay on track. Finally, embrace pauses! The magical silence, the moments you breathe deep A well-timed silence can allow your message to resonate without overshooting your time!

The best way would be to prioritize the main points in your presentation and decide which points are the most crucial to deliver if you are close to running over time. Keep your explanation short and crisp with more information delivered in an understandable and concise manner. Practice before the presentation to prepare for effective delivery of points and edit your speech based on time constraints. It is also important to keep a consistent train of thought so you do not get distracted or forget the material you want to share next. These tips should help keep a presentation concise and within the limit.

Plan, Plan and Plan.... Have buffer time in hand based on needs of audience and make sure key messages are delivered without compromising on time. Do not hesitate to mention the audience the value proposition of time with your deliverables if needed. Following a mindmap approach helps in quick thinking, helping you stay concise and cover all topics without over-explaining.

Stick to the key points, keep the tangents to a minimum, and remember—if you don’t finish in time, just tell them you’ve left the best part for next time :) But really, being mindful of the clock, rehearsing, and timing yourself beforehand is key. Plus, if you run short, you can always offer a surprise encore at the end!

To avoid running over time while covering all key points in your presentation, start by creating a clear outline with a time allocation for each section. Prioritize your key messages and focus on the most essential points, eliminating unnecessary details. Rehearse your presentation, making sure to stay within your time limits for each part. Use a timer during practice runs to gauge your pacing. Be mindful of audience engagement; if questions arise during the presentation, gently steer them to the end or suggest discussing them further afterward. Lastly, prepare a concise summary for the end to wrap things up smoothly if time starts running short.

When I’m prepping for a presentation, I focus on hitting my main points. As a general rule, three is a good number. Keep it tight, no fluff. Rehearsing with purpose is key for me, setting timed checkpoints to make sure I stay on track and remain sharp. When I'm in front of the crowd, I like to engage them, but I avoid letting them pull me off course. Visuals need to hit hard and flow. I keep my eyes on the clock, but I am flexible because do pop up unexpectedly, and I’ve learned to adapt while striving to maintain momentum. My goal is to deliver value without wasting time. Start with the essentials, and, if there’s more time, dive deeper. Every second counts. It’s all about making an impact and leaving a positive, lasting impression.

1. Know your key points and take home message by heart 2. Practice but don't over-practice within the given time limit. You want to have a feel for time but be nimble enough to adjust on the fly and not miss out on the key points 3. Have a clock/timer in sight and if using supporting materials such as a presentation know how many slides. Number the slides so you have a solid reference. 4. Aim for T-a couple of minutes. If you have a 15min time limit, don't overdo it. Aim for a 12-13min talk to give yourself a buffer. Those "extra" 2-3min won't add much but can lure you into a false sense of security. Remember, a solid message can be communicated in 60s.
