I’m sure many of us can recall the first time we ever had to stand in front of a large crowd to give our presentation and most of the time, we are just very nervous because we are so afraid that we might just miss out the words we want to say or that we might just embarrass our own self.
I remember a teacher telling me this once in a study camp that a good way to start of a presentation is to always be confidence.
“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” – Anonymous.
One good way to be more confident about giving a presentation is to breakdown the word – present-ation. You are to give your audience a present; it’s going to be much easier for them to learn the topic by listening to you rather than just reading the material.
As we present, we must have accurate information; make sure there aren’t too many words in one slide because sometimes too much is just terrible. Keep it interesting, making sure the background and the words balance with each other.
Last but not least, always remember to keep it short and simple.
