Like many people, I usually feel more than a twinge of anxiety when I have
             to give a presentation. No matter how much I prepare or how well I know my
             subject matter, I still get stage fright before standing up in front of a
             roomful of people. Therefore, the biggest challenge I face in presentations
             is nervousness. Because the demeanor of the presenter impacts the entire
             tone of the presentation, managing this kind of emotional and mental
             distress is necessary to create effective presentations. Another personal
             challenge is organization, as I often try to pack in too much information
             into each topic. As a result, I tend to rush through the presentation so
             that I can touch on everything I intended to. Related to this issue is the
             delivery of the speech content of the presentation; part of impression
             management is making the material sound fun and exciting, and I usually
             rely too much on the fancy effects of the software rather than the content
             However, I have had a great degree of success preparing PowerPoint
             presentations that contain a variety of multimedia materials. For example,
             I try to include as many visual elements as possible, including charts,
             graphs, and photos. Once I even included a brief video clip. I noticed a
             great deal of audience participation in these presentations, as many people
             asked questions and appeared interested in the material.
             I believe a successful presentation is primarily about the confidence
             of the speaker in presenting the material. Even with the most powerful
             software applications and multimedia elements, a presentation can
             disappoint the audience if the speaker is not enthusiastic. When it comes
             to the actual presentation of materials, one of the most important
             ingredients is organization and allotting a proper amount of time for each
             section. Also, incorporating a good amount of eye candy can go a long way;
             presentations are by definition...
