Does it detract from the message of your presentation or

mannerisms

4. Eliminate distracting mannerisms
Do you:
 Rock, sway or pace?
 Grip or lean on the lectern?
 Tap your fingers
 Bite or lick your lips?
 Jingle pocket change?
 Play with your hair or adjust your clothing?
 Play with your watch, ring or other
jewellery?
 Put your hands in your pockets?

5. Eliminate distracting mannerisms
Most of these mannerisms are often
done unconsciously.
By becoming aware of any distracting
mannerisms you can consciously self-
monitor your gestures and work on
eliminating those that detract from your
presentation.
When your actions are in unison with
your words then you will strengthen the
impact of your speech.

6. Tip #2
Be natural, spontaneous
and conversational

7. Be natural, spontaneous & conversational
The most important rule for
making your body speak
effectively is to be yourself.
Strive to be as genuine and
natural during your presentation
as you would when speaking
with friends or family.

8. Tip #3
Let your body mirror your
feelings

9. Let your body mirror your feelings
If you’re passionate about your
topic then your physical
movements will come from within
and be appropriate to what you’re
saying.
By involving yourself in your
message you’ll be natural and
spontaneous without having to
consciously think about it.

10. Tip #4
Build self-confidence
through preparation

11. Build self-confidence through preparation
When a speaker knows that
he/she is thoroughly prepared,
they feel more confident about
presenting.
When you’re well-prepared you
can focus on directing your
behaviour outward toward your
audience instead of inward.

12. Practise and rehearse your
material until it becomes part of
you.
Don’t try to memorise your
speech.
Instead, know your material so
well that you need only memorise
the flow of ideas.
