Written with software developers in mind, but not limited to them.
At the end of this article, you will be ready to present your next speech like a pro and master the following:
WhoHowWhenWhatWhyWho am I speaking to, how familiar are these people with the subject of my presentation. Are they beginners, mid-level, or professionals? This will help you structure the content of your speech and allow you to find the right words to use in communicating with your audience.
Ask yourself how your presentation will be made, is it going to be a physical gathering, a pre-recorded session or a remote presentation. This will help you set up the equipment for the presentation ahead. You need to understand the medium you will be communicating with your audience and make sure every gadget is in order.
When do I need to give this presentation, and how long does the presentation has to be? Asking yourself this question puts you in control of the event. You need to know the time and duration of your presentation, timing yourself prepares you to manage the event.
What are you going to talk about exactly? This is important to note.
This question follows after the What, when you know what to talk about, the next question should be WHY ME. Why have you been chosen to talk about this subject, what makes you the best to speak about this subject? Are you are expert in the subject? Do you have any experience to share with your audience? This question helps build your confidence in the presentation, it builds you up and places you where you should be.
In the before column, write down everything you expect your audience should know before the presentation. Think of this as a requirement, if I'm to be in Andela's Bootcamp for instance, I'm expected to have studied the Andela Home Study Curriculum.
In the mid-column, write down the content of your presentation, this is what you are planning to transfer to the audience. Think of this as ingredients, like what I'm going to gain by being part of Andela's Bootcamp.
In the after column, write down everything you want your audience to know or retain at the end of your presentation. Sticking to our examples, I will be a FullStack Developer in Andela by now.
W Direction while moving on the stage, this will help you look at everyone at large while giving your presentation.for(speaking in public)
{
Look => Speak

Language is about what you say, but also how you said it.
Linguistic tics are things one repeat endlessly without even been aware of it examples are words like
like…, so…, actually, basically, then…, err, clearing one's throats or small intents of breath etc…
This affects your speech and somethings sounds so boring to the hearing.
How to eliminate them:
To deliver a professional speech, you have to learn
Don't try to eliminate your nerves we all have it, it is a power to use for good, it reminds you of the energy in you, without those energies, we can do nothing. Find a private place to practice and warm your body. Repeat your first sentence as you are coming up to the stage, this helps you stay on track.
Avoid dry mouth, always stay hydrated before or even while on stage. Keep a bottle of water with you.
On articulation exercises to help you prepare a professional presentation, I love the lists HERE by Andrew Hearle If you have memory loss along with your presentation, it is totally fine, don't feel bad about the situation, calm yourself down, take a breath, and take a little break to recover.
We're all human and the audience will understand your situation, and nobody will judge you for that.
