I was still a thief when I met Arun and though I was only fifteen I was an experienced and fairly successful hand. Arun was watching the wrestlers when I approached him. He was about twenty, a tall, lean fellow, and he looked kind and simple enough for my purpose. I hadn’t had much luck of late and thought I might be able to get into this young person’s confidence. He seemed quite fascinated by the wrestling. Two well-oiled men slid about in the soft mud, grunting and slapping their thighs. When I drew Arun into conversation he didn’t seem to realize I was a stranger. ‘You look like a wrestler yourself I said. ‘So do you,’ he replied, which put me out of my stride for a moment because at the time I was rather thin and bony and not very impressive physically. ‘Yes,’ I said. ‘I wrestle sometimes.’ ‘What’s your name?’ ‘Deepak,’ I lied. Deepak was about my fifth name. I had earlier called myself Ranbir, Sudhir, Trilok and Surind...

Relevancy. Ensure that the A/V aids you use are relevant to your speech. This sounds obvious, but many speakers make the mistake of providing "additional information" handouts during a speech. This is one of the worst mistakes a speaker can make. Such handouts would be great to give out after a speech, but certainly not during it. Appropriateness. Likewise, your A/V aids should be appropriate to the occasion. You would not typically, for example, use charts and graphs to give an entertaining speech. If the aids are not appropriate, they will distract an audience. Attractiveness. If you are not skilled at using the popular software products typically used to create charts and graphs, and other visual aids, it is best to hire someone who is. An unattractive visual aid will "speak" poorly of you and it will lessen the impact of your message delivery. Visibility. Not everyone in the audience will have 20/20 vision, and not everyone in the back of the ...
Do: 1. Be prepared – No matter what the occasion, proper presentation preparation is a must. That means making sure your equipment works properly, your notes are legible, and that you keep to any pre-arranged timescales.Obviously this is going to involve rehearsing. And by rehearsing, we mean proper rehearsing. Out loud. In front of actual people. Rehearsing in your head does not count. 2. Introduce yourself – Ah, the old ice-breaker. An integral part of any presentation. Even if people know who you are, a simple ‘For those of you who don’t know me…” can go a long way to building up your rapport with your audience. It also allows you to request that any questions are kept to the end. That way, there will be no interruptions half-way through to ruin your flow.Just try and avoid the ‘I’ll start with a joke’ routine and keep it professional. Awkward silences are difficult to recover from. 3. Maintain eye contact – Maintaining eye contact shows you’re confident in ...

These skills cover a variety of areas such as the structure of your presentation, the design of your slides, the tone of your voice and the body language you convey. Essential elements of effective presentation: Plan — Determine how your topic relates to the audience. Define the purpose of your talk as it relates to the outcome you seek.
