Tips for Great Presentations 

1. Light on speakers to connect with the audience.
2. Look at your audience throughout the presentation (e.g., 5 second individual eye contact).
3. Keep objects away from mouth.
4. Be animated (e.g., stimulating ideas, fluid movement, costume, props, visual aid, powerful music/video, etc.).
5. Be passionate about your purpose.
6. Know your material and anticipate answers to questions.
7. Modify voice rate and pitch thoughtfully and naturally.
8. Practice until you are calm and confident.
9. Be spontaneous and minimize reading notes, slides, or cards.
10. Be natural and sincere.
11. Almost every presentation provides an opportunity for you to tell something about yourself. Applying personal Who, What, When, Why, and Where information makes your presentation unique and personal.
12. When you end your presentation, be sure to leave the audience with something to think about and if applicable, a call to action.
