Public Speaking Tips

The second worst things about public speaking, other that the actually act of public speaking, is having your audience be completely and utterly bored. You are there to present something in the first place so it must be somewhat important that other people know about it, otherwise you would not be there. It does not matter whether you are presenting on your web development project to your team or unveiling some amazing gadget to the world, the same concepts apply. First, make sure that you make a human connection with the audience. It will make them more engaged and feel like you are talking to them and not at them. As far as the content of your presentation goes, make it simple and use a list. Lists are easy to absorb and remember. Also, do not take yourself too seriously because it will bore your audience and there will be a disconnect. It is ok to crack a couple jokes.
