Beginning
your Presentation
|
|
|
Gain
supporters even before your presentation.
Talk to one or more of your classmates or friends in the room.
Tackle the monster head-on. The more people you meet before
your presentation, the easier it will be for you to see them
as a friendly group.
Present
yourself.
Give your name and the title of your presentation before moving
on. Making some introductory remarks about yourself and
about the topic you will be presenting usually produces
a more relaxed feeling in your audience. Even making some
positive remarks about your classmates/audience can help
in the same way.
Use
a powerful opener.
Start with a relevant story, relevant statistics, or an important
question. These will set the stage for your presentation, getting
people's attention and interest.
The
question of self-awareness.
Keep in mind that you are more aware of yourself than anybody
else in the room. More often than not listeners miss your nervousness.
The tremors that seem so obvious to you are rarely noticed
by your audience. The less attention you pay to your own signs,
the more easily they go away.
