1. Remembering the audience
The objectives of the presentation must be stated clearly at the introduction. It has to fulfill the
audience’s need and expectancy. A good presentation has to make audience involves actively.
Presenter has to create a good environment of the presentation.
2. Organize the information
A good presentation must include a proper organization of the information. The design of the
overall structure must be clear. The introduction and the closing part must give a maximum effect
for the audience. The different sections must be linked properly. Time management also must be
set properly for the presentation.
3. Use visuals effectively
Simple word and picture (if necessary) to create a simple message are needed in order to maintain
the message of the presentation. The equipment should be used properly and professionally to
support the presentation. The copy of the materials is needed for the audience.

Maintain a confident attitude to give a positive impact or the presentation and audience. Relaxed
attitude also must be maintained. Eye contact is also important part in the presentation. Beside of
the eye contact, body language also takes a big role for a successful presentation. Avoid distracting
manners in front of the audience.
5. Deliver the message correctly
Use the effective voices, volume, rhythm, and pause. Choose the best material that is appropriate
with the audience need and proficiency.
