Being a professional speaker I can give you the following tips:
- Don't read from your slides.
- A slide should not have more than 3 bullets or pieces of information on it.
- Avoid text, use pictures. I did a 60 minute talk, I had 67 slides, ALL of them just pictures. The pictures supported my words as I spoke.
- Avoid yellow on your slides.
- Have a structure
- Respect the time given.
- Add value to the audience, how do you want them to think, feel or take action after your presentation.
- Pause, give the audience some time to disgest what you just said.
- Start with a fact, a statistic or something that gets their attention.
- If your audience did not understand your presentation, then is is your fault. Not theirs.
