Along with practicing and rehearsing, preparation will do the most to help you relax and reduce mistakes when giving a presentation.
Preparation - being well prepared has helped my presentation effectiveness. It makes it easier to to present because you know your topic and your speech. It helps to build the self confidence.
The first step I take when preparing my presentation is to determine what it is I want to achieve from giving it. Do I want to inform or persuade, i.e. "to tell" or "to sell". What action do I want them to take at the end of the presentation.
Next is to understand the audience. I do this by asking questions such as What do the audience know about the subject of my presentation? What is their age, gender, education etc?
