If you actually want to be successful then you must learn the art of giving powerful and memorable presentation. It is not that much difficult that you might be thinking. Follow few tips and you will be good at it. Here we go.

1. Know your words

Delivering presentation means you have to deliver your words in the right way. So, think about how your words will sound as no one will see your slides. Speaking is more finite so your speech must end with sounding monotonous.

2. Don’t just listen

If ever anytime don’t understand or ask you any question in between, don’t make any mood. Just smile as if you are damn interested in their respective question even if you don’t know their solution. Don’t just listen, understand what they are saying or want to know about.

3. Use examples for support

Use some real-life data or any example so that they take interest and find your presentation actually worthy. Also let them know why they should believe it.

4. Involve your audience

It is just a way to make presentation more interactive. Don’t tell listeners what they want to know. Ask them too or grab a volunteer to answer a question.

5. Convey with humor

No one likes boring lectures, so make sure your presentation doesn’t sound boring and you like book-worm. Make it funny as people take more interest in funny delivering speech. But remember don’t plan ahead too much. If you would plan too much your audience will find it stiff and that all would go wrong. Your humor must go with the flow and according to your work.

6. Keep it simple

Keep your presentation simple and understandable to all the people. Don’t behave as if they are aware of each and every little details or things.

7. Stay Focused on your keys

Make your objective and don’t go in different direction. Stick to your objective. You can write everything on paper just to be in sequence and consider that order while delivering your speech.

8. Repeat impressive Keywords

Make your speech powerful by repeating good keywords. And these points will help audience to understand as well as if you go wrong then surely your good keys will be treated as backup.

9. Remember your content

Make sure what you have written in your slides, you have complete knowledge of that words or even phrases. Remember all your key points.

10. Take some Break

Always allows break for natural responses and even laughter. Never run in any presentation, it will give negative impact on your performance.

11. Make it about the audience

Deliver your presentation as if you are talking about audience, that is you. Make sentence very clear like how would you feel if this goes from right to left? You just need to replace me, myself and I with you.

12. Practice

Make sure you must leave a good impact on your audience, so first audience is you. Try practicing on voice recorder or in the mirror. Learn from your mistakes and it will help you to gain confidence.

13. Facial expression

Deliver your speech with good facial expression. Don’t show as if you are stresses or depresses or in hurry to complete the topic. Put a smile and stay calm.

14. Pave your introduction

Write your intro and provide it as host to your audience. Don’t just start with topic itself.

15. Scope out the venue

Get familiar with the room where you are about to give presentation. So, visit to the location early.

16. Open with a bang

Well, you won’t get hours, the time would be limited or I should say merely seconds. So, make your body language full with energy and gets your audience interaction immediately.

17. No need to apology

If something goes wrong, like any technical issue or anything like this. Don’t stop, just go with the flow and behave as if nothing happened. Don’t allows anything to make interrupt.

18. Keep it short

Don’t try to extend until it is necessary as you know people gets bored so fast. Keep it up to point and try to make your audience happy.

19. Pick the right time

Time also matters, time at which you will give your presentation. If possible, try avoiding presentation before or after lunch as at this audience will be felling lazy and it might possible your presentation would go in vain.

20. Emotional connection

Just like others, don’t just focus on delivering presentation, try to make a connection with audience by asking question or asking for feedback and let them know you are quite interesting in your thoughts and ideas.

21. Use visuals

If you need visuals to prove your point, don’t hesitate just add them to your slides and if possible, try to explain them with visuals only.

22. Quote someone

Quoting someone is great way to start any presentation but make sure whatever quote you are presenting make sense with your objective and purpose of your presentation.

23. Use words, image or think of it

Words like Imagine, think of a situation or scenario or close your eyes make sense and actually forces audience to image or think of something. This is another way to make a quick interaction with audience.

24. Make Eye to eye contact with audience

Don’t get nervous of someone ask you any question and it is quite obvious to get nervous in large audience but try to avoid so. Develop confidence enough to deal with large audience. Speak to audience directly and make eye contact with them, no matter if anyone laughs or not listen to lecture.

25. End your presentation nicely

When it come to the end of presentation, tell them Thank You or make any joke just to stay connected with them. Or you can ask for feedback that would be great.
