Is there something you didn't understand?
Do I use jargon that you're not familiar with?
Did I make strong eye contact?
What did you like--or not like--about my delivery?
What can I do to make it stronger/better?
What would you grade me according to the rubric (boss, employee, or intern)?
THEN...
Practice until it is effortless! You should know it by heart and it should be easy to present.
