The
formal presentation of information is divided into two broad categories: Presentation skills and Personal Presentation.
Personal Presentation:-
Many
people feel terrified when asked to make their first public talk. Some of
these initial fears can be reduced by good preparation that also lays the
groundwork for making an effective presentation.
Presentation Skills:-
A presentation is a means of communication that can be adapted to various speaking, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting of briefing a team.
Focus on your audience – every presentation you do should be tailored to your listeners, this will keep them interested and engaged. What do you want your audience to think, feel and do? Plan how you will achieve this.

Keep your presentation slides simple – be as clear and
concise as possible. Your listeners cannot concentrate on what you are saying
if you have lots of text on slides. Try to use imagery to supplement what you
are saying instead of text.
To Get Buy-In, Make
Your Ideas Their Ideas- Don't think you need to convince people by beating them down with facts or fighting their objections. One of the most powerful presentation techniques is taking attitude of inviting the audience in.
Banish the nerves – if you struggle with
confidence whilst presenting then adopting a persona can help. Acting helps
your brain achieve things you wouldn’t usually feel comfortable with, breaking
down those usual barriers.
