Keep your audience engaged by following these three tips:

10-20-30 Rule – Guy Kawasaki came up with this rule and it’s one to live by.. A slide presentations should have no more than 10 slides, last no longer than 20 minutes and have no text less than 30 point font.

Slow Down – If you’re new to public speaking you’ll probably be tempted to get your presentation over with as quickly as possible. This is a big mistake. When giving a presentation speak even slower than you normally do. Don’t forget to add pauses for emphasis.

Arrive Early and Prepare – Make sure you know how all the equipment works in advance. Arrive early and scope out the room. Run through your presentation to make sure everything is running smoothly. Preparation is a great way to relieve speaking anxiety.
