What is the one thing you want the audience to remember about your presentation? Put it in one sentence and you've got your message - the whole point. Say it clearly and repeat it for the audience to remember. And make sure all the examples, history and statistics relate to it.

Focus on your audience

Why does public care about what you say? Think of your message from the audience's point of view and then target your presentation to their needs. Remember, it's not all about you - it's about them.

Organize your material

One of the simplest ways to improve your presentation skills is to organize your material clearly. Your presentation should include an introduction, development and conclusion. The body, or a main part of your presentation, should be made up of related material arranged according to an organizing principle, such as a number of points, chronology, pros and cons, etc. Make sure you have a clear transition between one section of the body to another.

Blades may not be necessary

Too many presentations are full of crowds, hard to read slides containing too disorganized information thrown at them. Before creating slides, think about whether they are really necessary. How to make your presentation slides better? You're at the presentation and the slides are just the visual aid.

Watch Your Time

One of my clients was to speak at a colleague's retirement dinner. The first speaker has exceeded his time limit by twenty minutes, which annoys the audience and my client's left with very little time to present. Never exceed your time limit. No one will complain if you finish a few minutes early, but things will go downhill very fast once you go a minute past your time limit.

Make eye contact

When speaking, make eye contact with everyone in the audience - or if it's a very large group, with all sections of the audience. It helps you communicate to the audience, engage them and measure their reaction. Maintain eye contact for three seconds to give, then move on to another person.

Non-verbal use

Nonverbal communication includes elements such as facial expression, voice, eye contact, gestures, posture and movement. The key is your non-verbal to match the message you are carrying or to confuse the audience and distract from your message. So if you want to convey a message with confidence, stand straight with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed on both feet, smile, make eye contact with the audience and speak in a loud, clear voice.

Smile

Facial expressions are non-verbal, but a smile deserves its own tip. Smiling you can relax, which in turn can relax the audience and help you be more attractive. In most public speaking situations, a smile is appropriate, but the nerves or a false sense of gravity prevent the speakers from smiling, but rather that they look grim or bored. (Exceptions to the appropriate smile rule should include, for example, announcing layoffs.)
