- Set a clear intention for your presentation
What is relevant for the audience? Always have them in mind, what do they want to know and why. - Find your voice, and then write
For this preparation, you might need to push outside your comfort zone. Stand up and speak out loud. See what comes out, record it and/or write it down. If you never practice out loud, it will be the first time you will hear yourself say those words. - your energy will be contagious!
If you are bored, the audience will be bored. If you seem doubtful, the audience may distrust you. So craft content that interests you, and that you are comfortable and confident with as it will flow and engage better. - Make it relatable
Use examples drawn from your experience. The audience will clearly grasp what you are saying. When we use real cases, our tone of voice fluctuates more. We are more animated and less monotonous.
