Having good presentation skills don't just help when you're on stage talking to a large group of people (though they will be beneficial there, too); they also help in so many areas of business and career, too. Whether you have a project update to deliver, a pitch for a client, or an idea you want to share with your team, good presentation skills will help ensure that what you say lands with who you're saying it to.

Here are nine areas where good presentation skills are essential for success.

5. Project Updates: Keeping everyone informed about the progress of a project is critical to its success. Presentation skills can help project managers communicate progress and challenges clearly and effectively.
