Notes that among the 10 things you should never mention at a professional presentation are:
"I’m very jet-lagged/tired/hungover." About 1/5 of presentations start by complaining, acting as a kind of excuse for about what they are about to say. Not a positive note to start off a jazzy presentation. Just take some remedies and do your best.
"Can you hear me? Yes you can!" Tapping the mic several times, presenters will often begin with this annoying opening. If you are at a professional conference, there are people responsible for checking the sound system, and you do not need to test it out yourself. I'm sure the sound people in the back shake their head every time the see this happen. You can assume that all is working well until you hear different.
