We’ve all been there; you’re in the most important presentation of your business life and things just keep going wrong. Your mouth goes dry, your head empties of thought, your laptop won’t connect to the projector and you can’t find the presentation file.

It’s the worst feeling you can have in business, and you tend to do in front of the most important people. In order to be prepared, we’ve compiled a list of some of the things that go wrong with a presentation, so you know what to look out for.

Laptop battery dies
This is a common problem and would kill your presentation dead unless you have backup. Make sure you have a spare battery and your power cable.

Projector doesn’t work
Connecting your laptop to the projector isn’t always easy so give yourself plenty of time. Make sure you know how to do it and who speak to if the projector needs attention, such as replacement projector lamps.

Your mind goes blank
This can be helped by knowing your presentation backwards. Practice and more practice is the key, so make sure you do your homework and you shouldn’t have any nightmares.
