This document provides tips for giving dynamic presentations that begin with putting yourself into the presentation. It recommends marshaling your resources of time, content, experience, creativity and insights, and mashing them together with a positive attitude. Four key ingredients for an effective presentation are to stand tall and sure while projecting confidence through good posture, eye contact, smiling and vocal projection. Frequent practice through rehearsal, recording and critique allows the presenter to learn and improve, finding confidence and mastering their material.
