What's the best way to close a presentation to end a speech or a talk? The best way is to just state something with finality. Let people know you don't have to say in conclusion, but state one final point that you think is most important, try to be upbeat about it. And let people know that this is what you're leaving them with too many people end their presentation by saying, here's the facts. Here's the fact here's the facts. Here's that's it any questions?

As if they're in a big hurry to get out of there because they're nervous and uncomfortable. It's like a car that just going down the highway 70 miles an hour and then clunk, clunk, clunk. It runs out of gas. You don't want to do that. You want to seem purposeful. just restate your most important point or to smile.

And step back. You don't have to say thank you. You're not saying any questions. just pause for a minute. Let people know you're finished. That way you'll seem confident, you'll seem purposeful, they'll know that you finished and it's all coming together in a seamless way.

That's really the most effective way doesn't have to end with a teary story or some joke that's so funny. They're gonna say it for years. You're just ending with a purpose and on your own terms, not running out of gas.
