Start by saying something about yourself
As HR Magazine states, people like to know who addressing them. If it is an unknown person, the chances of their paying full attention to the presentation are reduced. This is why you should say who you are on the first slide. Be very brief.
Do not be afraid to repeat the main points of your presentation several times
The main message should be mentioned several times in your presentation. Do not expect the listeners to pay attention 100% all through the speech. However, do not repeat the same sentences and formulations; use different words.
Remember that PowerPoint is not the only presentation program
Although many might not know it, PowerPoint is not the only program for making presentations. There exist other online presentation programs on the Internet that can give your speech a certain charm.
Engage the audience with unexpected terms and phrases
Many people prepare and practise their speech so well that in the end they sound like a robot. Do not be afraid to demonstrate your own unique way of speaking. Be yourself and do not try to come across as too polished.
Adapt the presentation to suit the audience
Think about your audience. What is their knowledge, interests, needs and communication style? Adjust the style and overall goal of your presentation to these specifics, and you will succeed.
