How to do that? Well, here’s a shamless plug for my own blog at http://www.curved-vision.co.uk
The key thing – if there is a simple, single key thing – is structure. That helps your audience understand where you’re going, remember how things fit together and (in emergencies!) allows the presenter to find their feet again when things go wrong!
Sometimes I even advocate presenters having the overview/structure as a running footer on their slides if the presentation is particularely complicated….

Public speaking is an art unlike other forms of communication, which very few are born with. Most of the greatest public speakers of our times have developed their public speaking skills over years of practice and experience. Still, some of the pros in the field get nervous before arriving at the public meeting. Thus, at the end of the day it’s all about how much effort you are ready to put in the form of practice and, listening which will help you become a good or even a great public speaker.
