If you were to help someone have the best presentation possible, what are the 10 pieces of advice you would give them?

1. Make Sure All Your Information is Relevant and Readable: The most important piece of your presentation is the information you are sharing, so make sure the audience can understand it.
2. Stand up Straight: If you stand up straight you look more professional and confident about what you are presenting.
3. Don't Just Read the Slides: Make sure you aren't just reading the information directly from the slides, you need to elaborate and further explain your information to the audience.
4. Engage Your Audience: Make sure the audience stays interested in your presentation so they will absorb more of your information.
5. Demonstrate Your Knowledge of the Topic: By elaborating on the slides and remaining confident, you can show your audience that you really know your information
6. Be Confident: Be confident in what you are presenting, you know what you're doing.
7. Use hand Gestures When Needed: It is okay for you to use hand gestures when you're presenting information, just don't use too many or you will distract the audience from your information.
8. Look Interested: If you are bored with your topic, your audience will be too. Let your facial expressions and body language demonstrate your interest in the topic.
9. It's Okay to Move a Little: You don't have to stand stick-straight the entire time, move around a little bit if that makes you more comfortable.
10. Stay Focused: Stay focused on your information, don't get sidetracked by the audience or other ideas you may want to share.
