Think about the last memorable presentation you attended, easy to remember? Unfortunately, many presentations are forgotten, and this is a problem, since this means that the presentation did not achieve its communicative goal, did not convey the message or information to the audience. The following steps will help you become a better presenter and create more effective presentations.

Steps

1. 1 Explore your topic. It is important to spend enough time gathering and confirming information to speak confidently and with knowledge of the topic.
2. 2 Get organized. Organize the highlights in the most appropriate order for the topic you are presenting. Instead of writing down complete sentences and paragraphs, have cards with notes to help you understand the information in the presentation.
3. 3 Exercise. Do not memorize the written text. Try to understand the topic as well as you can so that you can communicate well during your presentation and meet the time limit. Practice with a friend or family member and listen to their feedback on your representational ability.
4. 4 Deal with stress. Generally, it's okay to worry before a presentation, imagine how you have impressed the audience. It is also important to relax before a presentation and not think about anything other than how to get the most out of it.
5. 5 Look presentable. To show your level of professionalism, choose a formal attire. Appearance says a lot about personality and confidence.
6. 6 Maintain eye contact. Scan the room while maintaining eye contact with as many people as you can.
7. 7 Speak clearly. Speak clearly and loudly to convey your presentation to everyone, even those in the back corner.
8. 8 Engage your audience. Several ways to do this: share a funny story with taste, or ask a question to see how much they know about the subject you are about to discuss.
9. 9 Answer the questions at the end of the presentation. Make sure you listen carefully, if necessary, ask for clarifications, and repeat the question to the entire audience to buy more time thinking about the answer. If you do not know the answer to a question, be honest, tell me that you will think about it, since you do not know the answer at the present time.
10. 10 Learn from your experience. Ask for feedback from your employers or professors to identify your strengths and weaknesses and improve your presentation next time.
11. 11 Listen to presentations. After you have finished your presentation, you should take the time to listen to other presentations and learn from the presenter's strengths and skills.

Tips

• Try to smile between parts and passages of your presentation. This will make it appear that you are interested in the topic and are enjoying the presentation.
• The audience doesn't listen to cars. You should treat your audience differently, depending on the topic you're discussing.
• If things aren't going well, don't make things worse by answering the question. Just be honest and don't be afraid to say you don't know.
• Be yourself!
• Holding an object in your hand during your presentation (such as a marker) will make you less nervous.
• Most of the speech in your presentation will be forgotten, so smile and sound optimistic, people will remember that.
• Take time and speak slowly. This will give you time to compose your play and find the right words.

Warnings

• Do not look at the screen while speaking or turn your back to the audience.
• Avoid complex and obscure graphical tables and pictures.
• Don't use a small font size to fit more text on the slide.
• Don't read directly from slides or notes.
• Don't drag it out for too long.

What do you need

• Use PowerPoint as it is the complete and most widely used presentation program. It allows you to display text, movies, videos and graphics as a slideshow.
