The key to a successful presentation is preparation.
Even the most experienced speakers plan their presentations. They may be relying on past experience, but that seemingly casual walk up to the podium, often without notes, is only possible because they have prepared thoroughly. Even all the so called ad libs are usually carefully rehearsed!
If you fail to prepare, you then run the risk of delivering a diluted message. Knowing your audience is vital along with identifying your objectives and familiarising yourself with the venue.
A successful presentation/speech harnesses the beliefs and commitment in you that makes you want to work for your company/institution and conveys those feelings with enthusiasm to your audience.
