1. Understand Your Content and Viewers 🎯 Tailor your delivery to resonate with your audience. A science lecture and a business proposition would naturally differ in tone and complexity.

3. Command the Room with Open Gestures 🤗 Drop any form of restrictive body language. Instead, welcome your audience with expressive gestures to maintain engagement.

4. Practice is the Golden Rule 🥇 Rehearse ahead. Check your pace, timing, and experiment with your delivery style. Friends or mirrors make great audiences for a trial run!

5. Entertain and Structure 🏗️ A presentation should be a well-paced journey, with an exciting intro, clear direction, and an empowering conclusion.

6. Keep Slides Concise 🗃️ Slides are your aides, not the main act. Employ bullet points and visuals to accentuate your points, not overshadow them.

7. Eye Contact Equals Connection 👀 Gaze at your listeners to draw them into your narrative. Even brief eye contact can make them feel seen and involved.

8. Ditch the ‘Ums’ and ‘Ahs’ 🚫 Filled pauses signal uncertainty. Knowing your content well removes the need for these crutches.

9. Authenticity is Irreplaceable 💡 Embrace your individuality. An insightful, well-crafted talk should be as distinctive and engaging as you are.

10. Choose Your Presentation Style ✨ Select a presenting method that aligns with your unique strengths: whether it’s a Visual, Freeform, Instructor, Coach, Storytelling, Connector, Lessig, or Takahashi style.
