* When you drive on the roads, you know where you are. Each road has a name. Each town has a name. And each house has a number. You can look at the signposts for directions. It is easy to navigate the roads. You cannot get lost. But when you give a presentation, how can your audience know where they are? They know because you tell them. Because you put up signposts for them, at the beginning and all along the route. This technique is called ' signposting ' (or ' signalling ' / ' sequencing ' / ' ordering '). Use this technique in all three parts of your presentation: introduction, body and conclusion!
