Presenting well means achieving a high level of impact in front of a group of people, delivering a presentation that inspires and motivates others, or communicating information in a powerful way. An effective presentation makes the most of the relationship between presenter and audience. It fully considers the audience’s needs to capture their interest, develop their understanding, inspire their confidence, and achieve the presenter’s goals.
