Effective presentation skills involve preparation, structure, visual aids, and presentation. Preparation includes analyzing the audience and developing key ideas. The structure should have an opening, body with key ideas, and closing. Visual aids should enhance one key idea per slide and be legible. Good presentation involves engaging the audience through interest, structure, language, body language, eye contact, and gestures.
