  This is evenmore important if you have Q+A at the end. If you don’t know your subject, you’ll struggle. People love stories and they are likely to be drawn in. don’t make this too personal… This is not always possible, but if you can make your audience think hard about their opinions, they’ll remember your presentation. Give them a reason to listen to you- will this benefit them? Will this change their opinion? Don’t jump from idea to idea. Base your presentation around key questions or points. Don’t crowd your slides or go off on a tangent while talking. Make your point, reinforce it and move on. What makes a good presentation? It’s clear and simple- don’t overcomplicate it. It’s well planned- make it easy to follow. It’s emotional- appeal to your audience. It’s unexpected- challenge your audience. It tells a story- people relate to you. It’s credible- you have research to back you.
