Hi Everyone!
I understand that we are a bit busy this week preparing the case study presentation. Though we are on our hectic schedule, I appreciate the quietness and calmness showed while working on it. I like the group discussion where we share our ideas among group members which in turn serve as a gateway to know each other better. And the moment is about to come for our formal presentation on our case study which will be next week. I believe everybody come up with a good output.
I just want to share some simple tips for oral presentation
Take a deep breath before you stand up to approach the podium. Then take another deep breath before you begin speaking.
During the speech, breathe properly by taking deep breaths. The audience appreciates little pauses during the speech, you catch your breath (literally) and they catch their breath (figuratively).
If your face tends to get red during public speaking, wear a coloured shirt to offset color of your face (a red shirt for example). If you think you look pale, wear a lighter colour.
If you think your neck turns red or blotchy when speaking, wear a high neck shirt.
If your hands get sweaty, put a little Kleenex in your pocket to wipe off hands, no one will ever know!
If you feel a rush of nervousness and speak too quickly, try to “feel your feet.” This means concentrate briefly on the sensation in your feet, toes, the weight of your shoes, etc., it’s a little trick that helps focus attention away from nervous physiological reactions.
I wish all the best to everybody. Good luck!!!
