One of the best pieces of advice I give to my clients when teaching presentation skills is to always be prepared for the unexpected and that goes for your clothing as well as your visual image.  Without a doubt, what you are saying and how you are saying it are the most important aspects of your presentation; however, your visual impact can either add to your image or detract.

The last thing you want to do is dress in such a fashion that your words are not being heeded...

Actors wow us, amaze us, and inspire us but one, in particular, displays a level of confidence that I would wish for all in public speaking.  The actor I am referring to is Clint Eastwood.  In all the roles he plays, he never doubts himself.  It is that level of belief in yourself and your abilities which you need in order to wow, amaze, and inspire your audience.

Fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, or fear of forgetting your material are the 3 main reasons...

I read something the other day that really shook me up. Not in the negative sense, but positively -- as positively as possible.

It concerns one of the biggest bugaboos of public speaking. Most novice speakers appear to have a deadly fear of silence. If for even a fraction of a second nothing is coming out of their mouth, they seem to feel that something is wrong. This is a principal cause of all the "uh," "um," "eh", "ah",...

The problem with communication is that when people converse and use language, they often times only consider the 'intellectual meaning' of their language, not knowing the unconscious effect their language has on the listeners.

We program ourselves with language, we program others with language. The 'programming' I'm talking about is the unconscious effect of language on a person's neurology affecting behaviors and emotional states.

This is often the reason for...

Speaking with expression, emotion, life, animation – whatever you call it – is one of your most important characteristics in delivering a dynamic presentation or speech.  Just how colorful are you at the lectern?

If you would like to test your ‘color’ skills, record yourself reading the following nonsense paragraph and then play it back.  (It might be an idea to practice it out loud before recording it.)

While I cannot take credit for the title of this article, those words have haunted me since I discovered them a few months ago in which the writer was discussing animating your PowerPoint presentations, certainly good advice. I was fascinated by those words because movement in public speaking is vital if you want to keep the attention of your audience on you. What is fascinating about public speaking is that if you don’t move, then your listeners will.

The question is: do...

At some time in your life there is the likelihood that you will or have given a speech. Throughout your education, it is quite possible that you were required to speak on a particular subject at one time or another. Perhaps you toasted the bride or groom at a wedding or were asked to give a eulogy at a funeral. Maybe you delivered a graduation speech at your high school or university. In any or all of these situations, your oral delivery would have been a speech.

While there are...

I've noticed two diametrically opposed views on PowerPoint driven presentations.

Presenters love it. It can help to greatly reduce the fear of delivering a presentation by providing constant prompts for the presenter, which handily double up as a handout for the audience to take away.

Audiences hate it, many describing presentations as 'death by PowerPoint', 'information overload' or having no power and little point!
