1 Know your purpose

Before you start preparing your presentation, you need to have a clear and specific goal in mind. What do you want to achieve with your presentation? What do you want your audience to learn, feel, or do? Having a purpose will help you focus your content, structure your message, and motivate your delivery. It will also help you avoid unnecessary or irrelevant information that might confuse or bore your audience.

2 Plan and practice

One of the best ways to reduce your nervousness and boost your confidence is to plan and practice your presentation in advance. Start by outlining your main points and supporting evidence, and create a logical and coherent flow. Then, design your slides or visual aids, making sure they are clear, simple, and relevant. Avoid overcrowding them with text or graphics, and use colors, fonts, and images that enhance your message. Finally, practice your presentation several times, either alone or with a friend or colleague. Pay attention to your timing, tone, and body language, and anticipate possible questions or feedback.

I have always emphasized the importance of practicing. I used to record myself and rewatch/listen to my recordings in order to improve my delivery. It is difficult as an introvert to know how to present yourself therefore if you continue to struggle, then maybe you can try taking a speech/debate/presentation course. These have definitely helped me improve my presentation overtime.

3 Engage your audience

Even if you are not a natural speaker, you can still engage your audience and make a positive impression. One way to do that is to start your presentation with a hook, such as a story, a question, a statistic, or a quote that relates to your topic and captures their attention. Another way is to use humor, anecdotes, or examples that illustrate your points and show your personality. You can also involve your audience by asking them questions, encouraging them to share their opinions or experiences, or using polls or surveys to get their input.

4 Manage your stress

It is normal to feel some stress or anxiety before or during a presentation, but you can manage it with some simple techniques. First, breathe deeply and slowly, and try to relax your muscles. This will help you calm your nerves and lower your heart rate. Second, adopt a positive mindset, and remind yourself of your strengths and achievements. Think of your presentation as an opportunity, not a threat, and focus on the value you can offer to your audience. Third, use affirmations or visualization to boost your self-esteem and confidence. Imagine yourself giving a successful presentation, and repeat phrases like "I can do this" or "I am prepared" to yourself.

1. You will always feel stress to a certain extent before a presentation. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but stress will always be there. Stress is a human response to something new. Doesn't mean it will go bad, since often we think negatively, it's just the human brain saying "Oh! We must focus on this!" 2. Emotionally, fear and excitment are closely linked in the human brain, so stress and enjoyment can, in some ways, feel the same. If you can, trick yourself into thinking that you can't wait to do this presentation. 3. If you feel safe enough to express feelings, just saying "Oh I am a bit stressed, bare with me" to your crowd will actually, surprisingly, diminish your stress. Since recognising a feeling gives you more control.

5 Seek feedback

After your presentation, you can improve your skills and experience by seeking feedback from your audience, your peers, or your mentors. Ask them what they liked, what they learned, and what they would suggest for improvement. Be open-minded and receptive to constructive criticism, and appreciate the positive comments. You can also evaluate yourself by recording or reviewing your presentation, and identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Use the feedback and evaluation to celebrate your achievements, learn from your mistakes, and set goals for your future presentations.
