You're absolutely right, it's all about keeping your audience in mind. Depending on how your audience assemble, I like to talk with people as they come in before I launch into the blurb. This helps you get an idea of what your audience already know and you can tailor the blurb to the audience. Good luck!

Dear All Quick presentation query. How do you cope with presenting the same information hundreds of times to your visitors without going mad? Be it a welcome or the instructions to an activity, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the same thing many times in one day. This can be a form of torture! How do you keep your presentation fresh and exciting, even if it's the 497th time you've said it that day? I'm looking to pass on some words of wisdom to student facilitators working with us. Personally, I always try to remember that it's the visitor's first experience, but there must be other clever ways to remain sane! Thanks!!
