to get feedback one must get engaged in observing the reaction which audience have after viewing
the presentation. Factors such as responsiveness of the audience and consistence in the rate of
participation allow individual to know if the presentation is going the right course, by being engaging

openly about the gaps they have noticed in the presentation. Individual can work on overcoming the
gaps to make presentation better (Gruber and et.al., 2018).

presentation must be confident enough. They must make sure that they do not hesitate while
keeping up their points as this can lay negative impact on the audience who are engaged in viewing
it. Person who is delivering the presentation must make all the points clear which they have kept in
front of audience, this will help them in making their presentation better and memorable.

of audience, as this can lay negative impact on the mind of audience viewing it. They might give
negative feedback for the presentation. This can also lead to a situation where audience might not

working environment. By this way they can make presentation better. Employees efforts must also
be recognised by organization.

for example while delivering presentation individual must be clear in their thoughts to make
communication effective.

delivering the presentation must be engaged in making use of adequate and proper language. Like
for example they must be using that language which is used by everyone and also the presentation
must not contain any scientific terms that is not understandable by audience.

presentation must be adequate. They must make sure that the information that is being given to
audience must be authentic and reliable.
