20 Ways to Improve Your Presentation Skills – Part 2
Update: 25/11/2016
5. Adjust to Your Surroundings
The more adjusted to your environment you are, the\r\nmore comfortable you'll feel. Make sure to spend some in the room where you\r\nwill be delivering your presentation. If possible, practice with the microphone\r\nand lighting, make sure you understand the seating and be aware of any\r\ndistractions potentially posed by the venue (e.g., a noisy road outside).

6.\r\nMeet and Greet.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Do your best to chat with people before your\r\npresentation. Talking with audiences makes you seem more likeable and\r\napproachable. Ask event attendees questions and take in their responses. They\r\nmay even give you some inspiration to weave into your talk.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
7.\r\nUse Positive Visualization
\r\n\r\n
Whether or not you’re a Zen master, know that plenty\r\nof studies have proven the effectiveness of positive visualization. When we\r\nimagine a positive outcome to a scenario in our mind, it's more likely to play\r\nout the way we envision.
\r\n\r\n
Instead of thinking "I'm going to be terrible\r\nout there" and visualizing yourself throwing up mid-presentation, imagine\r\nyourself getting tons of laughs while presenting with the enthusiasm of Jimmy\r\nFallon and the poise of Audrey Hepburn (the charm of George Clooney wouldn't\r\nhurt either). Positive thoughts can be incredibly effective – give them a shot.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
8.\r\nRemember That Most Audiences Are Sympathetic.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
One of the hardest fears to shake when speaking in\r\npublic is that the audience is secretly waiting to laugh at your missteps or mistakes.\r\nFortunately, this isn’t the case in the vast majority of presentations.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The audience wants to see you succeed. In fact, many\r\npeople have a fear of public speaking, so even if the audience seems\r\nindifferent, the chances are pretty good that most people listening to your\r\npresentation can relate to how nerve-racking it can be. If you start to feel\r\nnervous, remind yourself that the audience gets it, and actually wants to see\r\nyou nail it.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
9.\r\nTake Deep Breaths.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The go-to advice for jitters has truth to it. When\r\nwe're nervous, our muscles tighten--you may even catch yourself holding your\r\nbreath. Instead, go ahead and take those deep breaths to get oxygen to your\r\nbrain and relax your body.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
10.\r\nSmile
\r\n\r\n
Smiling increases endorphins, replacing anxiety with\r\ncalm and making you feel good about your presentation. Smiling also exhibits\r\nconfidence and enthusiasm to the crowd. And this tip works even if you're doing\r\na webinar and people can't see you.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Just don't overdo it – no one enjoys the maniacal\r\nclown look.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
11.\r\nExercise.
\r\n\r\n
Exercise earlier in the day prior to your\r\npresentation to boost endorphins, which will help alleviate anxiety. Better\r\npre-register for that Zumba class!
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
12.\r\nWork on Your Pauses
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
When you're nervous, it's easy to speed up your\r\npresentation and end up talking too fast, which in turn causes you to run out\r\nof breath, get more nervous, and panic! Ahh!
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Don't be afraid to slow down and use pauses in your\r\nspeech. Pausing can be used to emphasize certain points and to help your talk\r\nfeel more conversational. If you feel yourself losing control of your pacing,\r\njust take a nice pause and keep cool.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
13.\r\nDon’t Try to Cover Too Much Material
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Yes, your presentations should be full of useful,\r\ninsightful, and actionable information, but that doesn’t mean you should try to\r\ncondense a vast and complex topic into a 10-minute presentation.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Knowing what to include, and what to leave out, is\r\ncrucial to the success of a good presentation. I’m not suggesting you skimp\r\nwhen it comes to data or including useful slides (some of my webinars have\r\nfeatured 80+ slides), but I am advocating for a rigorous editing process. If it\r\nfeels too off-topic, or is only marginally relevant to your main points, leave\r\nit out. You can always use the excess material in another presentation.
