8 ways to give a good presentation

1.Eye Contact( 3-5 secs.) look around the room
2.Hand Gestures-point to maps and posters
3.Focial Expresion- make you face and emotions tell the story
4.Movement- move around the room, don't be a statue
5.Non-Words - Don't use words like um and like it shows the poeple you are talking to that you didn't practice
6.Pauses- don't make your pauses to long (5-10secs.)
7.Energy- you might fake it to make it
8.Speaking Pace/Volume- not to slow but not to not to slow, speak loud enough
