Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker.

This does not mean you shouldn't use slideshows or PowerPoints. They are still the standard for a reason. But they are also not the only form of visual aid that works at conveying your presentation to people in the audience.
