Day 12: Going on the Road
A successful presentation starts with a one sentence summary about what your topic. Care about your message and seem excited to share it. Establish credibility by being prepared and knowledgable about your presentation. Develop rapport with the audience and watch your body language as you interact with them. Tailor the presentation according to what the situation calls for, but allow for audience engagement. Communicate confidence, control, and enthusiasm because the audience mirrors your feelings and emotions. Watch great speakers in order to learn their body language and presentation tips. Videotape yourself presenting in order to evaluate and improve your delivery. "Be quick, clear, and gone - you'll be the best they've heard lately."

I know I have said it before but no one likes to watch something that just reads their presentation to you. If you are not engaged then there is no point in listening to the presentation.
Hi Margarita,
Enthusiasm is contagious. "Care about your message and seem prepared and knowledgeable about your presentation." Presentation time is a great time to generate interest in your topic (s) of passion. It's a great compliment when you receive a follow-up email or phone call about your latest hot topic. Communicating care is critical. :)
