Body language
•
Head
An upright relaxed posture keeps your head steady and encourages eye contact
with your audience.
This encourages your audience to feel as if you are talking directly with each of
them when you establish eye contact.
•
Facial expression
Keep an expressive, relaxed and pleasant face. This will create bonds with your
audience.

Body language
•
Hands
Best to allow your hands to fall loosely at the sides of your body. If you need one
hand to hold notes, it can be relaxed and hold the notes just above the waistline.
•
Feet
a good basic position is to:
Place one foot slightly in front of the other, the heel of the front foot near the
instep of the other. Have the toes pointing outwards at a slight angle.
Now move the feet apart until you are evenly balanced and you feel anchored to
the floor. Do not lock your knees.

Gesture
Be sparing with gestures and note the following points:
Arms and hands should move in a flowing and relaxed manner
Time the gestures consistent with the ideas being expressed
Support your hand gestures with head and body movement
Don’t be artificially repetitive with gestures
Working with audience
Converse 
Have a conversation with your audience.
They may not actually say anything, but make
them feel consulted, questioned, challenged,
argued with; then they will stay awake and
attentive.

Working with audience
Interact 
Engage with your present
audience, not the one you have
prepared for. Look for reactions to
your ideas and respond to their
signals. If the light bulbs are not
going on find another way to say it.

Working with audience
Show conviction 
Give an expressive
presentation and an
enthusiastic presentation and your audience will
respond, which is what you want. Use your excitement,
pace yourself to give an exciting
presentation,
use something you know you feel strongly about to
build up to an important point or as a springboard to
another idea.
