Pauses In A Presentation, Part Two

Pauses In A Presentation, Part Two
For your weekly dose of clear English coaching, we have a weekly speech tip video below. Do you want to know a brilliant tactic for pausing at the beginning of a presentation?
1. Brilliantly effective is this: When you are first introduced, upon arriving at the podium or your location of delivery, take a break, wait a beat. Scan the room for about five seconds, eyeball to eyeball. Choose a friendly face or two. Smile.
2. Then deliver your grabber opening—eyeball to eyeball—without notes.
3. This will engage your audience. It will involve them. It will help separate people from their own concerns and immerse them in yours.
