Presentation Skills Expert:
Two parts to this answer:
1. Rehearse your presentation on your feet at least three times as close to the manner in which you will deliver it as possible.
2. Although you might practise your presentation from start to finish - you should also practise it in modules. This helps train your brain to recover when you get lost or to cut something out to save time. And practise your opening and close more than the other parts so you can deliver these important parts strong.

ReplyDeleteI would add recording yourself with a digital audio recorder and video recorder.
Watch and listen, with an honest friend, to the recordings.
Ask your friend for specific ways to improve.
