your head or smiling You can even use laughter when appropriate

- Take a deep breath, hold it for a second or two, and let it out Focus on

slowing down your speech and body movements a bit This will make you appear more confident and contemplative It will also help calm you down if you are nervous

The Powerful presenter

4 Range of voice tone and speed

+ Voice tone.

- When you’re speaking in front of an audience, be aware of your

volume. Speak too softly and you might come across as meek, but speak too loudly and that may come across as abrasive

+ Take purposeful pauses

- This gives you a chance to think and the audience a chance to process

your points

+ Slow down.

- Many people compensate for their nervousness by speaking as quickly as

possible But this can be difficult to follow and to understand

The Powerful presenter

5 Eye contact

+ See people.

- Be sure to actually look and make eye contact with individuals in your

audience Look at their facial expressions for reactions to what you’re saying.

+ Shrink the room.

- Imagine that the room is really quite small and you’re having a conversation with just one person Not only will your presentation take a conversational tone, but you’ll find yourself less nervous.

+ Move to another person at an appropriate time.

- Typically you’ll find that it takes about a sentence to make genuine eye contact It’s a great idea to move from person to person making eye contact with each

changing sentence.
