The last thing to worry about is how to end a presentation in a way that would leave an impression on your audience. In other words the end of a presentation is not really the end, keeping in mind all the questions that you may be asked after your presentation and start to ask yourself about other topics that you might have missed. Once you have expressed all you thoughts and opinion about your topic, end courteously by restating the main idea of your presentation and perhaps distribute handouts to clarify complex issues that you have discussed if necessary. Encourage the audience to participate by making them engage in a discussion which you can come up with as you try to answer questions at the end. If there are not many questions, you cannot assure that the audience fully understand the topic that you have just talked about, some of them may find their questions irrelevant or a little personal to share with other audience. If this is the case, tell your audience that you will be available to answer personal questions regarding the topic of your presentation by allowing them to get in touch with you through e-mail or phone.
If you are being evaluated by your peers or teacher, it is a good opportunity to ask about their thoughts on your presentation and ask for advice on how to enhance the audience engagement experience. Express your gratitude by thanking the audience for spending their time listening to your presentation and you will be amazed how good it feels to end the presentation with ease and confidence. If you feel that your presentation did not leave much impression on your audience, try to visualize your presentation from the beginning to end and perhaps ask yourself which areas requires more improvement and take note of areas that you consider as your strength. Remember that every presentation provides you with a new experience and knowledge which could take your presentation skills to a higher level.
