How not to start a presentation!
For some reason Blogger keeps coming up with an error when I try to load this video, so here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vS6sjc1lQ0&feature=related This is a great example on how not to start. My wife recently had to present a presentation that was not hers to her bosses. This is very hard when you did not do the research and trying to project the message the original author had. So my wife spent a great deal of rehearsing in front of others and emailing the author about messages he was trying to present. She all had a hard time with the tone of the presentation because that is a very personal thing and is hard to portray for someone else. Due to my wife's preparation and hard work this situation in the video did not happen to her.

It is important to use notes if you are not an experience speaker. Notes helps you maintain your thoughts. Try to avoid long text or memorizing, because it can get boring and causes you to lose the attention of your audience. Use notes that have large headings for main ideas to cover.
Use visual aids:
Visual aid makes presentations more interesting; it helps audience keep up with the speaker. Visuals can be a power point presentation, hand outs, or an overhead.
