This well written article by Brett Tabke has many tips that will help you become a better presenter. Even if you're a professional presenter, there is something that you can learn from this article. I found these to be insightful and helpful and is worth a read.
Here is a snippet on the tips on the opening of your presentation:
The Big Opening:
- Gracious: Thank your host, thank your moderator, and thank the
audience for being there.
- Cheers Dudes: Let the audience know that you want to meet them and
they can see you around the conference and should feel welcome to come talk to
you.
- One Theme - One Theme Only Please: Follow one central theme and nail
it.
- Respect the Scope: Limit your bullet points. Be very selective.
- The Big Five: Each presentation should have at least one slide for
each of the big five: a chart, a graph, a list, a human picture, a funny
picture, and finish with 3 take aways and your contact info.
- The Stunner Opener: Start with a stunner of a statistic, a really
funny experience, or a real world case study.
- The Survey Opener: Finding out who is in the audience with a survey
question is a great ice breaker and opener.
- Lead Them: Let your audience know what you are going to cover and
what your theme is all about.
