Delivery for Oral Communication

A group of people in a casual meeting setting, with one person standing and presenting ideas on a flip chart while others sit around a table, engaging in discussion and brainstorming. 
Effective oral communication is more than just good ideas; it is about how you present those ideas that can be the difference between effective and ineffective communication.

Effective delivery depends on a few key things: (1) mastering the content, (2) practicing your delivery, and (3) knowing how to use your body to enhance your presentation, rather than distract from it.
