A successful presentation is one that moves people to action. You will know that the presentation was a success when people are moved by what it is you are saying and act according to what you said.

Why are people so afraid to get up in front of an audience and give a speech? Basically, people are afraid of being humiliated in front of others. Some may have negative experiences in the past, such as having been laughed at by the other kids in school when in front of the class. But, for most people, it's the generalized fear that they are going to get up on stage and tank; that people won't like them.

You might think that you are the best speaker and despite could not manage to grab the attention of the audience you ever spoke before. You might have prepared your presentation after a week long grueling effort but the impact was only 10% or so. This leaves you wondering why you have not been successful at public speeches and presentations although you possess enough knowledge and also do have the required skills. The introduction, the body part and the conclusion all have been spoken in an orderly manner but little it did to captivate the audience. It can be said then that saying a word is one thing and how it affects the audience is another and the only thing to win over your audience.
