I was at a training event for my job today. And, well, there are a lot of people who need training and practice at public speaking.
Don't read the slides verbatim. Minimize/eliminate crutch words. Give people time to read or take notes. Speak clearly and loud enough everyone can hear.
It's not hard, but there are things people need to be taught about it and if you aren't going to do it regularly, practicing in front of an audience is so helpful.
Some of the presenters today were REALLY hard to listen to.
