Good things — strive for these:
1. Not too much material for the time available
2. Clear speech (loud enough, not rushed, clear enunciation)
3. Voice interest (not monotone, showing your interest and enthusiasm)
4. Eye contact (looking mostly at audience)
5. Supporting gestures (appropriate for what you are saying)
6. Slides that give the most important points of your talk, in phrases (not
complete sentences) and any crucial diagrams or figures
7. Good organization of material, shown in slides and talk
8. Good knowledge of material, shown in the way you present it
5. Start Strongly
The beginning of your presentation is crucial. You need to grab your
audience’s attention and hold it.
They will give you a few minutes’ grace in which to entertain them,
before they start to switch off if you’re dull. So don’t waste that on
explaining who you are. Start by entertaining them.
Try a story (see tip 7 below), or an attention-grabbing (but useful) image
on a slide.
