There are key elements and components for an informative presentations which include the following: 1. Attention statement that raise interest and motivate the listener. 2. Introduction that communicate a point and common ground. 3. Body of the presentation topic which address key points. 4. Conclusion to summarize key points. 5. The residual presentation message which communicate central theme, moral of story, or main point.

When you have a mixed audience, it’s important to keep the slides understandable to everyone. If using abbreviations, expand it in brackets. Start your presentation with conclusion or main take away. The “why” part can come later. Keep your slide light, clean with simple visuals and less fluff. Don’t distract their attention by giving too many words on the screen. If you have slides with bullet points, frame it as a question and give them a chance to guess answers. Relatable examples/stories can go a long way too

The best presentations are short, crisp, to the point, & visually engaging. They should begin with the agenda of the meeting, followed by the objectives, ensuring that the session is time-bound. Expectation settings should be done at the start to align everyone on the purpose and key takeaways. An ideal presentation should have: ✅40% content (concise and relevant) ✅30% visuals (pictorials, graphs, or charts) ✅30% focus on intent (conveying the message effectively) Including data, facts, or statistics makes the content more impactful and credible. Avoid overloading slides with excessive text. The focus should be on less content and more intent. Presenters who merely read out slides without adding value fail to engage their audience.

I do agree with most of experts here around - know8jg your audience, keep it crisp, backup woth facts and relatable instances etc. Amongst what's listed above, it's also important how your audience will be engaging woth your presentation... whether it's on the fly when you presentation it OR it's available to them for an offline pre/post read. For example if it's an live session the you may want to use more info graphics, keep it light n crisp and provide details in your commentary where as in the latter case, you may want to inkcide necessary and information in the slides itself for the audience to get a sense of it. Abd lastly, dry run your presentstion once, twice, thrice.... Hope this helps!

Objective - The objective is not to impress your audience but to inform, motivate or persuade them. Your presentation must address concerns, expectations or interest. Prepare & Practice - Be able to deliver convincingly at least 80% of it without looking at the slides. In preparation, the information must be clear, accurate and coherent i.e. follows a logical sequence. Storytelling - use short narratives to keep the audience interested and engaged. Something catchy and relatable (data and figures works well). Time management - keep it short, it's a presentation not a cinematic experience. Ten slides at max should convey the information. Speaking clearly with confidence and keeping eye contact will help.

Bring visuals, if your slides are covered in text the slides are presenting themselves! If you include visuals and minimal text, you will engage your audience and people will listen and look at you, rather than the screen

What i find imperative while making presentations is capturing the attention of the audience. The attention span of the audience decides the fate of the impact made during the presentation Adding the right mix of visuals is very important and explaining the data in a simple and informative manner makes all the difference. Backup written material also helps for later reading
