Now, how can one deliver a good presentation? The most crucial aspect is conveying the content of the presentation to the target audience in the best and accurate way.

First and foremost, eye contact is key to delivering a killer presentation. It is important to make the audience feel that they are being personally addressed. It helps them connect with the speaker and the subject. For that, spot someone in the gathering who appears to be seriously interested in the topic and is avidly listening. Make eye contact with him or her from the beginning, and once you feel comfortable and less nervous, allow your gaze to focus on the other members of the audience. But remember to return your gaze to the first person with whom you made eye contact. In this manner, you can convey the feeling that each member of the audience is being addressed.

In case you are wary of gazing at a person, try fixing your attention on an immovable object in the room, especially the wall at the rear. Once you have regained confidence levels, you can slowly gaze at the people before you.
