Two Tips to Presenting Well

First, prepare. Prepare once, twice, and thrice. Then prepare again. Preparing as thoroughly as possible can eliminate many of the problems that people face with presentations. Much of the nervousness, stuttering, filler words, or the lack of confidence that many of us feel before a presentation could be eliminated by understanding everything about a topic. Next, it's always helped me to try the presentation on someone before giving the final presentation. It's basically like having someone proofread a paper you've written. A fresh set of ears can help to point out anything that may need tweaking.
