Understanding The Elements Of A Successful Presentation

When designing any kind of presentation, there are several key things to consider before you begin. The first is the audience. Who are you presenting to? This will drastically affect the way you present and the style and language you use. If for example you are presenting road safety to a group of ten year olds, you will use simple language and visual aids. This will be vastly different to the way you would present annual revenue figures to a group of people from your own company.
