Building confidence is key to successful presentations and effective Q&A sessions. It boosts your credibility, helps you articulate your thoughts clearly, and it encourages active listening. When you feel confident, you're more likely to engage with the audience, ask insightful questions, and receive valuable feedback.

How to improve presentations

Like any academic assignment, it is integral you do the background reading or research to support your delivery. For a presentation, make sure you’ve checked how long you will have to present, where and when the presentation will take place, and whether you need to be prepared for questions too.
