1)Business presentation:

Definition: A presentation is a prepared talk given

by a speaker (the transmitter) to one or more
listeners (the receivers).
Types of presentation
Informative the easiest and most common type of
presentation; its main purpose is simply to share
information;
Demonstrative its main purpose is to show people how
to do things. Demonstrations are the most direct and
efficient form of presentation;
Persuasive they are designed to change peoples
attitudes, beliefs and behavior. This is the most difficult to
accomplish;
Ritual speeches or presentations delivered to make an
announcement, to celebrate or entertain.
In preparing a presentation, there are four key concepts to
consider:
A speaker has to be credible (how well or how poorly
the speaker is perceived);
A message organized, well-prepared, point by point.
What do my listeners want to know?
An audience its important to know everything we can
about the audience (who are those people / age / gender /
background)
An effective delivery
Other tips for effective presentations
Appearance
Posture

 Walking walk a little, change your position;

Facial expressions
Gestures
Voice speak clearly / slowly; repeat a sentence if its
important;
Visuals are one of the biggest traps in public speaking
today; the danger is that the audience will pay more
attention to visual aids than to the message itself; any
visual aid you use should be used simply to support the
message you are trying to transmit.
Conclusion
Summarizing the main points;
Recommending or suggesting something;
Inviting questions;
We have to try to make the conclusion the high point of the
speech. Present the concluding message in strong language
in words that gain attention and will be remembered.
