influence of non-verbal on overall communication : more

than 50% of what you communicate is communicated

non verbally. You must make sure your non verbal

messages do not conflict with your words other wise your

words will loose most of their impact.

1) Accept that nervousness as a common cold . Even the

most expert speakers and entertainers have certain level

of nervousness .

2) The key to nervousness is to have it work for you not

against you

3) Use nervousness to your advantage . Nervousness

cause our body to produce extra adrenalin and therefore

pumps us up for the presentation. Without nervousness

you would no do as well as you can with nervousness .

It is strongly recommended that you do not write out your

speech word by word . It can distract your attention

between presentation and written matter

Reading your speech in front of audience with

presentation can cause impact slip

14/23

One of the most important aspects of delivery is direct eye

contact with your listeners .

You should look at your audience at least 3 / 4 of the time .

Because audience eyes are looking at you 3.5/4 of the time

and they seek reply. Eye contact is a wonderful tool for getting feedback from your

audience. An audience will communicate much to you if you

are looking at them and reading their no verbal messages.

Eye contact communicate to the audience your desire for themto pay attention to your presentation..

If you were ever taught to look at the back wall above the

heads of the audience forget that ! Look right at the audience

Plan in advance where you are going to place your notes

and how you are going to handle them.

Try to have only one page of note.

Never forget to collect your note with you before and afterpresentation

You should not plan your gesture or they will look

planned. Instead keep your hands about waist height so

that they are free to gesture and then relax and see what

happens. You might be surprised to see that you naturally

gesture. And if you dont then as long as you keep yourhands relaxed and dont do something distracting with

them they will not take you away from your presentation.

Good posture is important but avoid stiff posture. Stand

straight on both feet(Which makes nervous shifting backand forth from one foot to the other impossible to do)

17/23

Movement is good but only if it natural for you. Be careful

to watch for nervous movement that is very distracting to

the audience . Continuous pacing back and forth makes it

difficult for the audience to listen to you.

18/23

If you have ever listened to a monotone speaker , you do

not question the need for vocal variety! Without vocal

variety ,it is difficult for the audience to listen and more

difficult for them to believe that you are excited about or

even interested in the subject

Practice may not make you perfect , but it does increase the chanceof success. When you do practice ,try to create a similar physicalenvironment to what you will have on the day of your presentation.

Think through the possible reaction of the receiver and then practiceyour reaction to the various receiver reactions.
