Before you prepare your presentation, you must be sure you have sufficiently considered your unique audience. Complete the following questionnaire prior to each presentation to make sure that your research and planning address your audience’s needs, interests, backgrounds, and so on. Depending on the presentation, some factors may be irrelevant. Don’t panic if you can’t discern every single trait, but you should have a sense of many or most. Mark the number that most closely matches your feelings of preparedness regarding each statement: 5 = extremely confident; 4 = somewhat confident; 3 = unsure; 2 = somewhat unconfident; and 1 = extremely unconfident.
