When it comes to giving a presentation, there are two objectives to pursue: conveying information and avoiding yawns. To achieve this, it can be a good practice to create an outline and use memorable words that will stick in your audience's brain.

If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral presentation. We recommend that you practice your voice and rehearse: the best improvisation is always the most worked on!

Showing enthusiasm, giving a smile, and maintaining eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when it comes to telling stories that excite and capture the interest of the public: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. This will help you make a 'match' with your audience. Leave them speechless!
