Tell a story, don't just present facts. 2. Limit yourself to the essentials and focus on a core problem or topic. 3. Use examples. Usually one example per topic is enough to illustrate. 4. Do not read off. If the presentation is important, memorise the most important passages and rehearse them until they sound natural. This will also help you to make eye contact with the audience. 5. Moderate your pace. Most people talk too fast and move too much. 6. Adjust slide content, font size, etc. to the space. If possible, familiarise yourself with it before the presentation.
