Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

What is the most heartbreaking or sad love story that you ever had (experienced)?
