To overcome competition and make a powerful first impression when presenting, greet your audience as they enter the room to set a friendly tone. Ensure your topic is well-researched so the presentation flows naturally. Prepare thoroughly by learning about your audience, setting up equipment early, and having backup plans. Use easy-to-read slide layouts with consistent color schemes and limit text by including relevant photos, charts and graphics to keep viewers engaged without overusing digital effects. Keep the presentation concise by including only essential information.

something like the computer, projector or microphone is not working. It
will totally throw you off and the audience will feel that they are wasting
their time.

content, and are easily read. Avoid
grammar and spelling mistakes, fancy
fonts, or writing in all caps. Use colors that
are easy on the eyes, and keep the color
scheme consistent throughout the
presentation.

Text only slides are boring, therefore using photos, charts and graphics will keep
your audience interested. On the other hand, ensure that they are relevant to the
topic, and you are not overusing them. Otherwise, your slides will look very
busy and will confuse your audience.

9. Be Concise
Avoid information overload. Get to the
point and limit the slides to include the
important information that you want your
audience to grasp.
