Have you thought about the body language you’ll be using during that upcoming presentation?
If you haven’t, you should! Body language plays a very important role in communication, in the way we’re perceived and in the way others understand our messages. This is because we’re always communicating; even if we aren’t saying anything, even if we aren’t vocalizing words or sounds, we’re communicating. The way we walk, the way we stand, the way we look, move our heads, wave . . . they all send innumerable messages. Because of this, when you’re up in front of an audience with a specific presentation goal to achieve, body language can become your best ally or your worst enemy, depending on how you use it.
So the next time you rehearse for a presentation speech, have in mind these 10 powerful body language tips :
