#Things to consider
- Think about what the other person hopes to gain from your communication. Put the focus on that. Your audience only care about how your content impacts them. Introduce yourself from the perspective of how you add value. It communicates your contribution and views yourself as having impact.
- Don’t scan the room when presenting. Look at one person at the time for each sentence. Talking to one person will calm yourself.
- First convey your keypoint. Then convey your content.
- Keep your hands by your side and gesture to show the audience that you’re interested in the topic and them. Stand still and show that you’re comfortable in your own skin.
- Pauses are essential. Your audience needs silence to process the information. Don’t cheat them on that.
