How to Improve Your Presentation Skills: Delivery
1) Verbal Delivery
• Be Brief - A 2005 study by the Helsinki institute found that the average adult was able to focus on a loading web page for only four to eight seconds before looking somewhere else. Attention spans are short; don't dwell on a specific subject too long.
• Ask questions to keep the audience engaged - This can be something as simple as pausing to ask if your audience understands everything you've presented thus far.
• Speak to your demographic - Match the semantics of your audience as closely as possible. Speak their language. 'If you're selling a skateboard, for instance, your semantics are going to be a lot different than if you're working with a litigation attorney,' Parnell says.
• Work on your tone - Evolutionary psychology suggests that people of both sexes respond better to deep male voices and high female voices, Parnell says. It takes practice to change the tone of your voice, but it can be done.
• Avoid speaking softly or other speech patterns that make you seem unconfident - For example, avoid ending sentences in an escalating tone that suggests every sentence you speak is a question.
• You should, Umm, avoid, Uh, fill words - Aguilera offers one strategy for kicking a fill-word habit: Say the offending word and concentrate on it.'Then tell yourself, 'this is a fill word, I'm avoiding this,'' he says. 'When you say this, it creates that pattern of changing it so that you'll catch yourself when you start saying it.'
• Don't use words like don't - Don't think about elephants. Ok, now what are you thinking about? Aguilera says that is why it's important to avoid phrases like 'don't worry.' Tell your audience what they should do instead. Similarly, don't say 'I hope you will enjoy this presentation.' Say, 'I am confident that you will enjoy this presentation.'2) Body Language
• Stand at a comfortable distance - Parnell suggests remaining within 2.5 - 7 feet of your audience. This presupposes (at a subconscious level) a personal to social relationship.
• Eye contact - Don't surf the audience with your eyes. Rather, make eye contact with one person at a time.
• Appear confident:
a) Shoulders back
b) Arms at your sides or held in front of your body when making gestures
c) Hands open or only slightly closed
d) Smile slightly or keep your face neutral.
e) Take long strides
f) Make every movement purposeful and decided
g) Treat props (like your resume or a handout) as though they are of value. Don't let a paper in your hand flap back and forth carelessly.
3) Powerpoint
• A Good Powerpoint...
a) Relies heavily on images.
b) Has only one or two sentences per slide.
c) Entertains.
d) Enhances your presentation, but doesn't summarize it.
• A Bad Powerpoint...
a) Contains font smaller than 32pt.
b) Has more than five or six lines of text per slide.
c) Displays a logo on every slide (your audience won't forget who you are).
d) Is printed and distributed as a handout.

How to Improve Your Presentation Skills: Questions
Being prepared to answer questions plays a major role in appearing credible to your audience. Parnell says that immediately before their meetings, he asks his clients to write down questions that may come up regarding their presentations. This primes their brains for answering them. It's also important to anticipate any challenges to your presentation that might arise during Q&A time and to prepare responses.
Braithwaite recommends taking questions before the end of your presentation. You'll have to let the audience know that you plan to continue after questions so that they don't start packing up their things, but this approach allows you to close your presentation on your own note. 'The audience will leave with your final message in their minds instead of some random question that someone asked that maybe was off-topic,' she says.Also, keep in mind that you don't need to answer every question. If you don't know the answer or don't want to answer a question, a graceful exit line is, 'I don't have that information right now, but I would be happy to get it to you as soon as I can.

Many people don't know how to express it in public, mainly because of the influence of psychological factors such as tension and shyness. To learn to overcome tension, you will find that things are not as difficult as you think.
