Preparation and knowledge- (of subject and the presentation itself) are
the pre-requisites for a successful presentation, which importantly produce
confidence and control, in turn important for relaxing the presenter, and the
audience.
A
simple technique is that people tend to only remember three things. Work out
what the three messages that you want your audience to take away and structure
your presentation around them. Use a maximum of three points on a slide.
Research and studies- Research and studies generally indicate that in presentation you have between 4-7 seconds in which to make a positive impact and good opening impression, so make sure you have a good, strong, solid introduction, and rehearse it until it is second nature to you and an action of unconscious competence.
Credibility- try to build your own credibility in your introduction, and create a safe comfortable environment for your audience. Which you will do quite naturally if you appear to be comfortable yourself.
Video yourself- set up a video camera and video yourself presenting. you will see all sorts of mistakes that you are making, from how you are standing, if you are jangling keys, to how well your presentation is structured.

Smile and make eye contact – this shows you are friendly and builds
rapport with the audience. It also helps keep you calm and concentrated as you
will feel like you are talking to individuals rather than a room filled with
people
Slow Down- It’s really easy to rush through your content
and speak very quickly, especially if you’re nervous. It’s much easier for an
audience to engage with your content if your delivery falls into a natural
rhythm. Try to pace yourself and remember to punctuate your speech with pauses
to emphasize key points.
Check out the presentation room- Arrive early and check out the presentation room. If you can make sure that you see your slides loaded onto the PC and working on the screen. Work out where you will need to stand.
Happy Learning!
