How to do a good presentation.

In this article I will highlight one major aspect you have to understand before you do a presentation. That is identifying the audience. There are four major types of people in a audience.
  1. Amiable : 
    Devoted, consistent, dependable, and loyal, the Amiable is a hard worker and will persevere long after others have given up.
  2. Driver :
    The Driver is a high achiever – a mover and shaker who is definitely not averse to risk.
  3. Expressive :
    The Expressive, a verbally adept personality, is engaging, accommodating,supportive of others, persuasive, socially adept, and relationship- rather than task-oriented.
  4. Analytic :
    The Analytical is polite but reserved, logical, fact- and task-oriented.
You have to identify following qualities of them to do a good presentation. Because they will search those qualities in you and your presentation . If you doesn't show the qualities they like,  nothing will happen.....
