Being able to sum up ideas is a fundamental skill. Roy Hykal, a 2nd year MBA student majoring in management and an organizer and co-chair for this year’s competition, offers tips for sharing thoughts in a way that excites others.

1. Use simple language.

2. Summarize you idea. Don’t share every detail.

3. Prepare ahead so delivery is optimal.

4. Maintain eye contact, and be confident in posture and speech.
