What Makes a Good Presentation?

A presenter is usually judged by three things:

1. The way it is delivered:

• rapport with the audience
• eye contact
• loud enough voice
• variety in the voice
• relaxed look

2. The way it is organized:

• concept and support are easy to follow
• information mixed with interesting examples and stories

3. The way the presenter feels about the topic, the audience, and himself/herself:

• excitement and passion about the topic
• confidence
• positive attitude
• enthusiasm about the topic
• interest in the audience
