Appearance

3. Posture

4. Movement &
Gestures
 NODS:
 Neutral: Begin in a neutral position with hands
at your sides
 Open: Stay open minded to influence audience
freely
 Defined: clean and limited hand movements
 Strong: Make gestures limited but use them to
establish you point strong.

5. Use of Space –
Do not panic

6. Use of Space
 A certain amount of space on the stage or floor is yours
by right and you should claim it.
 Project power by the way you stand and move;
remember you a leader when you speak
 Demonstrate confidence like a person who is at ease in
their own skin and with their place in the world
 Show your listeners they can have confidence in what
you're telling them by commanding the space around
you
 Don't overdo moving around, but don't minimize the
area through which you move.

7. Using Objects

8.  When you deal with objects in a presentation,
from a remote clicker to a handout to the slide
screen itself, find a way to help the object
further your message and its impact.
 That object is there for a reason; or there may
be more than one reason. Find as many as you
can.
Using Objects

9. Facial
expressiveness

10. Facial
Expressiveness
 Audience members depend upon your facial
expressions to augment meaning
 If you don't have an expressive face, go to the
mirror and work on creating a link between
what you are trying to express verbally, and
how your facial expressions make your meaning
as clear as possible
 As part of your practice, give your entire talk
without a sound coming out of your mouth,
letting your face do all the communicating.

11. Voice

12. Voice
 Voice is obviously a component of effective
body language
 Your voice is the most flexible communication
instrument you own
 You should learn how to use your voice to
influence others
 Many ways of vocal expressiveness indicates
meaning and intentions
 Listen to speakers good and bad, and listen
some more
