First, be prepared very well. As a presenter you must know who you are talking to, what you are going to show and what tools are necessary. Do not keep things pending for later. If you need things, order from your online office supplier and get discounts. Do the tips are mentioned here:

  1. You should be confident. There should be passion involved. Nobody likes a boring lecturer whose enthusiasm is down. You can gain more confidence by watching more presentations online and also by gaining more knowledge on the topic you are going to work upon.
  2. While preparing the presentation, write your beginning and end with extra effort. The first few minutes of a demonstration are very important. The audience generally starts loving you or hating you in the first few minutes of your speech. Choose your words carefully and work on your expressions as well for these first few minutes.
  3. Do not unnecessarily make something lengthy which could have been short, precise and might have meant the same thing. The attention spans of most viewers are short. They are not there to keep listening to long speeches about some topic. Give them short and crispy understanding about something you want to say.

We have seen many excellent presenters taking time to walk between their audience rows from time to time. You can always use a remote control to control your slides from a distance.
  5. If it is a small group, then instead of using a large projector screen, you could choose between a TV or a computer screen. Using a big screen for a handful of people may look inappropriate. Similarly when you have a large audience, you need to make the fonts big so that even people from the last rows could see it clearly.
  6. While buying supplies like trimfast board cutters, black foam board, color pens, staples- make a list and order from the same online shopping site. In this way, you will even get discounts for bulk purchase.
