Speaking too fast
Using jargon
Tone and content

“see” the audience
Take non-verbal feedback
-congruent and incongruent body language
Modify to meet audience needs
Don’t just make it as a presentation

Do not get confused
You are not supposed to know everything
Anticipate and keep answers ready
Sometime questions themselves give you a
lead to highlight your point of view
