Popis: Context The opportunity to deliver a professional presentation to an international audience is a privilege. As with all other presentations, preparation and planning are essential components for a successful outcome. The difference between a diverse international audience and a homogeneous audience of the same background as the speaker requires consideration of additional factors associated with relevant delivery of the content matter. Recognition and integration of cultural differences, language barriers, and delivery expectations are critical to the creation and conveyance of one's presentation. Objective This article will share advice for preparing for and delivering presentations to an international audience. Data Source Factors to consider when preparing a platform-style presentation include knowing the cultural background of audience members, the speed and tone of one's delivery, the appearance of slides, the use of hand gestures, and the integration of appropriate terminology. The process of speaking through an interpreter and additional methods that have been proven to be effective in the delivery of an international presentation will also be identified. Conclusion One can never have enough experience, as each presentation to a diverse international audience may be vastly different.
