Want to deliver a powerful, effective presentation and get more publicity? Try these techniques successful public speaking:

The better you know your presentation, the more relaxed you will feel. All of your practice will pay off to secure your memory, reduce nerves and fear and promote a feeling of confidence.

Use a natural, conversational approach with an easy, direct, informal manner. Tell stories and use humor that's relevant to your subject, even though the topic may be serious. There is humor to be found in every situation and the audience will appreciate it. Self-deprecating humor helps the audience to identify with you and feel comfortable.

Always look professional with your stance and bearing. Be aware of your body language and use gestures and mannerisms to emphasize, not undermine, your words.

If you are using notes, put them in outline form on 5" x 8" cards and refer to them as little as possible.

When using a script, use large print, double-spaced for easy reading. Print the words on the top two-thirds of each page and slide the pages from left to right (or right to left) rather than flipping them.

Know your material so thoroughly that you only need to glance down occasionally. The audience needs to see your eyes, not the top of your head.

Keep in mind that every great speech motivates, educates and entertains and you'll be successful. Be prepared for anything that might happen because it probably will!
