How do I improve communication skills and be good at presentations?
I want to improve my communication skills. While giving a presentation, I am too much and I can't explain those things which I want to explain. Can anyone suggest me how can I improve myself?
Follow the 3 P advice: Preparation, preparation, preparation.

Sounds corny, but if you know the topic 150% and you practiced it a few times on your spouse, friend or your dog, it will give you the edge you're looking for once you're in front of people. It should help you with not being nervous too. Most people will get super nervous within the first 30 seconds of a presentation. If you know the topic well that nervousness will give you the adrenaline rush you need to go through with your presentation. Been there, done that.
Join a local ToastMasters club? In the end, getting better at anything means practicing it. So, you could test run your presentation in front of friends or family and ask them for feedback. You can film yourself, play it back, and see where you could use some improvement.
Generally, try to slow down. Most people, when they get nervous, they just try to get everything out and talk really fast. If you lose track, pause for a moment. While it can often feel like an eternity to yourself until you can pick up where you left off, it's usually just a second or so. If you pause during that time instead of hemming and hawing or making excuses, you actually usually come off as authoritative and confident instead of nervous. Being slower and more delibareate in general will also have this effect.
Aside from that, what I like to do when I want to get better at something, is to research the top 3 books in that area, read them, take notes, and think about how to implement their advice.
Hope this helps!
I recall Brian Tracy (I think) saying that to get comfortable talking on stage practice in front of a mirror and record yourself. And do that repetitively.
Michael Masterson said that if you do a thing 1200 times you are an expert at that thing.
To become an accomplished speaker you have to speak. Don't worry about making it perfect. You improve over time. Just get started.
@qwikad.com @nshep and @JoeSpirit have given you very sound advice that you should take to heart. I can only add one thing to their sage advice: if I am about to embark on a presentation that will last 40 minutes or more, I like to start off with a short business joke on a topic that leads smoothly into my presentation. E.g., if I am looking to convince people to change the way they are doing something right now, I will lead with a joke about how someone doing something "because it has always been done that way" gets into humorous trouble. Leading with a brief (operative word "brief") joke that gets the audience laughing will reduce any tension in the room that you may be perceiving or feeling. You can just google "business jokes" to find a topic that fits your needs, in this regard.

I am in 100% agreement with this. Humor is the great equalizer as we all enjoy a good laugh. It lowers peoples defenses and secretes endorphins into their bloodstream, making them far more susceptive and open to your ideas.

For me the best way of learning is taking notes of good presentations and what I liked there - you can use all the good practices and learn from others.
Preparing for the presentation is also important, you can ask your friends and family to evaluate how was your presentation while practicing it.

That does work. I used to start off with, "When I used to get up to speak in front of a group of people two things happened. One, my knees started shaking. Two, I'd wet my pants. After many years of forcing myself to speak my knees don't shake anymore."
Usually the presentation went pretty smooth after that. Don't remember where I got that from now.
I'd wet my pants.
Ever hear of Depends adult diapers?:rolleyes:
Well, I recommend you to practice with people (simple as that), maybe small groups. Maybe you are bit shy or nervous when you are in front of a lot of people (but don't worry, everyone is).
Doesn't matter about what are you talking about, you just need to be more "extrovert" and that you can only achieve it with practice.
About how to keep all the info in your mind, you can have notes or even an ipad to be more professional.
What helps to any guy that needs to make an speech is to make a joke or be funny sometimes to create a good environment and also it can help you when you miss something or make mistakes.
Not back then.
