How to be always good at giving Presentation?
Answer:
each presentation may be factually different, if not, it certainly will have a varied audience. the way you put yourself forward, would definatel;y be different with a group of teens as opposed to a group of old age pensioners. so know your audience.
be well prepared , by defining your purpose and aims of what you intend to get accross. do as much research as possible on the topic, and admit it when you are not an expert on the subject.
plan well by spending time with the layout, and rehearsing. try to practice with an audience,and in front of the mirror.it gives you a chance to see your body labguage.
remember to emphasize your main points in the summary and to invite questions.
sometimes when you practice a speech or presentation takes up say 30 minutes, but when out in front of an audience it may only be 15 minutes. so pace yourself and have back up info that you can add if you need to fill the time up. alternatively know where you can shorten, to spare time.
try to use up to date visual technology and techniques, which will make you look professional - but be sure you know how to use them.
usually an audience is there to listen because they want to , so remember that they want to see you succeed and will also feel uncomortable if you look uneasy.
use humour if the situation allows it.Some people are spontaneous about this. but don't use any jokes which may be offensive to different groups of people, as one may be sitting in your audience and could well be the person you want to impress. also don't tell jokes if you are bad at expressing them- or like me, forget the punchline.
there are many books on this subject as well as on-line advice. perhaps you could do a course with learndirect,which will put you at ease a bit.
good luck, stand proud and enjoy.
pratice makes perfect.
Read it out loud to yourself or in front of a mirror. The better you know the stuff, the less nervous you will get
First point. know your topic of discussion.
Second, relax. you probably now know more than anybody else in the room and are the source of information during the presentation.
Third, if someone asks a question that you do not 100% know the answer to, don't BS your way through it. Write it down and make a promise to get back to them and everyone else in the presentation as well.
Fourth, get comfortable with the presentation. Make it flow like water. smooth.
Fifth, save the handouts for the very end. They distract people's attention while you're talking and invite others to jump-ahead and can throw you off-track with unrelated questions.
Lastly, ask for questions or comments and thank them for their attention.

i know that sounds to simple for you, and sorry for sounding like that, but you can do it!
Hey!
As a holiday rep I do meetings for over 100 people nearly 3 times a week. Believe me British holidaymakers are the not the easiest people to keep focused and interested.
Know your subject well, so that you have no reason to look as though you don't. Ask somebody who's unbiased to watch it, and then ask them to be deliberatly difficult (as if someone was trying to be a smart * in your meeting and trip you up) that way you'll be prepared for if it happens in real life.
Don't slouch, stand shoulders back and always try to focus on the person farthest back in the room. That way you can ensure that they always here you. Don't look at papers, look at them! Also I don't really find that imagining them naked helps, that usually just makes me sick.
If it helps you, have little cue cards with bullet points wriiten on them. Even if you don't use them they are there as a safety blanket if you do feel your loosing the train of thought. If you need them visuals are always good and make a good topic of discussion
You know, I've had it said to me many times before (I wouldn't do what you do) so just remember that neither would most of them probably. You'll always get a few peoplein the room that think they know the subject matter more than you, and will try to be smart - don't let them, have your key phrases racked up and ready to go. Usually 'I'll answer all your questions at the end when i have more time to elaborate on that matter, thank you.'
1. Be prepared
2. Know your subject
3. Practice with a friend and ask them to act like a smart * so your preapred for the real thing
4. JUST DO IT! - You can after all!
Good Luck!
Join a toastmasters group? Google it. They have chapters around the world.
To be good at presentation, first thing you should do, is know all the details of what your presenting. Research, research until you're satisfied. Be firm and confident . Accept comments or suggestions (whether its negative or positive) with a smile. Try adding small jokes pertaining to the topic so that it will not be too monotonous for your audience & get their attention.
Maybe you're good when you believe in what you are saying and you feel like you have something worth hearing. Your conviction then makes you appealing to the audience. So unless you get to pick and choose when you speak then you'll always have off days.
Connect with yor audience. Address key messages to specific individuals or groups. Look a them when you are talking. Work your way around the room & they will feel connected to you.
I find using different media very helpful, it makes a presentation more interesting and it is easy to concentrate on it. Powerpoint presentations are a good tool and it takes the focus of the viewers away from you (I hated standing in front of people staring at me). It is important to structure your presentation first, maybe give them a good introduction into what you are going to talk about or handing out papers of the structure so people know what to expect.
There are also many body language things that you can think of, that will make you appear more confident, althoug you might be nervous.
If you have sometimes people who interrupt you, then you can say at the start that you will be free to answer questions after the presentation. If you are in a meeting room, it might help to arrange the tables into a circle rather than al positioned towards you (if you can change the chairs and tables).
Good luck with you presentations!
is to be good
