  3. Audience Engagement: Understand your audience's needs and tailor your message accordingly. Interact with your audience through questions, anecdotes, or relatable examples.

  4. Visual Aids: When appropriate, use visuals like slides or props to enhance your message. Keep visuals simple, relevant, and complementary to your spoken words.
