This document outlines the three basic elements of an effective professional presentation: preparation, planning, and delivery. Preparation involves designing the layout, practicing, and developing the text, pictures, videos, and other visual elements. Planning requires understanding the purpose and audience as well as determining the key message. Delivery is the final element and involves using effective body language, eye contact, facial expressions, and speech. Proper preparation, planning, and delivery can make the difference between a boring and nice presentation.
