The third point, present your ideas clearly, is very important to remember. Often when we stand up and talk to a group our heart beat goes faster, our breathing rate increases and our mind races. What comes out of our mouths sometimes can be too fast or too 'out of this world' to appeal to the listener who is not experiencing the same 'adrenaline rush' as you. So calm down, focus on your main points and plan your time.
Assuming that you will be given a little bit of preparation time before you have to get up and speak, it therefore is vital that you plan your speech, just like an essay, ideally introduction, 3 main points supported by examples and a conclusion. It is a formula and may sound boring, but we are not expecting instant J.F. Kennedy's or Dr Martin Luther King's – we just want a believable,well-rounded speech that holds the listener's attention and suggests if given more time, then you could really do an excellent job. So remember the K.I.S.S. formula and keep it simple stupid!
The last point - connect with and engage the listener, is really where you can make yourself memorable and appear distinct from all the other competitors. Ideally you will have some understanding of who the people you are talking to are. This will require a bit of time on your behalf, to actually sit down and think, who are these people, what do they want, what would they be interested in hearing, what are they tired of listening to etc.
