Introduction

Almost all of us have presented or will have to present something at work or socially. Presenting to a group of people is quite similar to communicating with a single individual except that the presenter must manage multiple personalities, intellectual abilities, and uneven knowledge levels. He or she must manage the task of sending a predetermined set of information and ensuring that the entire audience receive this information successfully.
