The Top 5 Mistakes of Public Speaking

1. The presentation is badly structured.
2. The material is presented too intellectually. It lacks emotion and therefore doesn’t fully engage the audience. This usually happens   when a presentation is read word for word. Instead try using just a few bullet points.
3. Lack of meaningful gestures or movement.
4. Lack of energy or enthusiasm which results in a boring, monotone voice.
5. The central message or objective of the presentation is not clear in the mind of the speaker. This means it also won’t be clear to the audience.
