words
Speak slowly and clearly enough that
everyone in your audience can understand every word

audience ”

your words and the rest of your presentation
Don’t move constantly Pause for effect Stand
still to make an important point

Do not keep your arms crossed

presentation through: act it out, in front of friends, or family Time each section of your presentation and develop a schedule
Memorize the first two minutes of your
presentation, so you breeze on through the time when the butterflies are most active
Trang 35In the hours before
presentation
Think positive thought : visualize yourself feeling
at ease with the audience
Use affirmation (e.g., “I can do this I am prepared It will go well”)
Make sure all the equipment is working properly
Remember that the people in your audience are human too, just like you They want you to succeed !
Trang 36When you enter the room
Focus on making your movements fluid and confident, neither too slow nor too fast
Find a few friendly faces in the audience, for
reassurance
Smile Show that you want to be there
Be yourself

Trang 42Dealing with Disasters
You tell a joke that falls flat Ouch! Just shrug
your shoulders and apologize: “I am sorry I got that joke at a Henry Youngman clearance sale.” (You can choose your own comedian)
You get nervous and flustered and lose track of where you are Figure out where you
are from your slides and notes If you can’t, just
be honest : “My brain has derailed Who can back
me up so I can the on the track again?”
