Make Small Changes to Deliver an Amazing Presentation

Glossophobia, the fear of speaking in public is a phobia that affects three quarters of the worldwide population and many report speech disorders due to anxiety and nervousness. Delivering a presentation is a skillful task and although is easier said than done, here are a few small changes that can help you deliver an amazing one:

Uncomplicate the motive of your presentation and dedicate about 70% of your time on writing and developing a presentation script that interprets that central message effectively. Focus on communicating it using a personal story or anecdote with humor so that the presentation does not become dull and uninteresting. Always open with something that blows away the audience and instantly grabs their attention.

You must know your audience as their level of knowledge about the subject may differ and you need to make necessary amendments to your presentation. If you fail to adapt for your audience, you might end up stating the obvious the whole time in front of an audience of experts or talk about complex concepts for a novice audience.
