Tips to succeed in Presentation

Presentations are mostly practiced by students and professionals, and they are a great way to convey
11. Dont get too fancy
You want your audience to remember your message, not how many special effects and visual gimcracks you used. In almost all cases, the simpler the better.
12. Check your equipment in advance
If you must use PowerPoint, or plan on showing videos or something, check to make sure that the setup really works. Then check it again. Then one more time.
13. Speak to the audience
Great public speakers keep their focus on the audience, not their slides or their notes. Focusing on the audience encourages them to focus on your and your message.
14. Never read from slides
Guess what Your audience can read. If youre reading from your slides, youre not just being boring youre also insulting the intelligence of everyone in the room.
15. Dont skip around
Nothing makes you look more disorganized than skipping over slides, backtracking to previous slides, or showing slides that dont really belong. If there are slides that dont fit, cut them out of the presentation in advance.
16. Leave humor to the professionals
Unless youre really good at telling jokes, dont try to be a comedian. Remember: When it comes to business presentations, polite laughter is the kiss of death.
17. Avoid obvious wormholes
Every audience has hot buttons that command immediate attention and cause every other discussion to grind to a halt. Learn what they are and avoid them.
18. Skip the jargon
Business buzzwords make you sound like youre either pompous, crazy, or worst case speaking in tongues. Cut them out both from your slides and from your vocabulary.
19. Make it timely
Schedule presentations for a time when the audience can give you proper attention. Avoid end of day, just before lunch, and the day before a holiday.
20. Prepare some questions
If youre going to have a Q And A at the end of your presentation, be prepared to get the ball rolling by having up a question or two up your sleeve.
