When you speak, you represent a brand, the brand of you. How you talk, walk, and look reflect upon that brand. What does your body language say about you? Does it say you're trustworthy, confident, and competent, or just the opposite? While there are thousands of books and articles devoted to body language, how many have you read lately? Sometimes too much information is a bad thing.

Just try to follow this type of habits like: -


• Nothing fancy required, just a firm handshake with two or three shakes usually does the trick. Avoid squeezing like a vice. The key is to maintain eye contact while shaking hands. Finally, a warm smile adds just the right touch.

• Keep your weight balanced on both feet, stand tall, eyes ahead. When sitting, avoid slumping into the fold of your chair or leaning back. Watch as people respond to you differently.

• Maintain eye contact 70% to 80% of the time. Make everyone feel included and important. Look at the person you're speaking to you. If you're addressing a small or large group, break the room into three parts. Focus on one individual, make a point, shift your gaze to another part of the room, make a point, and do the same for the rest of the room.

• Simply avoid putting anything in between you and the listener. Keep your hands and arms unfolded, don't hold a binder, and try to avoid standing behind a podium when possible.

• Feel free to use your hands in a way that feels natural. Videotape yourself speaking to see whether your gestures appear natural and comfortable. You might discover that you use few, if any, gestures. Free yourself!

• Pay attention to small, potentially distracting body movements, like tapping your toes or fidgeting with your fingers, pens, or coins -- all signs of nervous energy. Look and sound more engaged by channeling that energy into face, voice, and hand gestures.

• Maintain eye contact with your listeners at least 90% of the time. It's appropriate to glance at your notes or slides from time to time, but only for a few seconds and only as a reminder of where to go next. You are speaking for the benefit of your listeners. Speak to them, not the slides.

• Find a clothing store and salesperson whose recommendations you trust. Always dress appropriately for the culture, but a little better than everyone else.

• Great communicators always rehearse important presentations. Most bad presentations are the result of failing to practice talking out loud.

• Great communicators are not stiff. Standing at attention like a soldier waiting for orders might work for the army, but it makes presentations tedious.

• Don't write too many words on the slide. A good rule of thumb is no more than four words across and six lines down. For slides with more content, do not recite the slide word for word. Include a story,

• Edit everything you say. Do you spend five minutes saying something that you could otherwise say in 30 seconds? What can you cut out? Be thorough, yet concise in all manners of communication, including phone conversations, emails and formal presentations.

• Tell your listeners why they should be excited about your content. Give your audience a reason to care.


As for the information being available you find out how you handle your presentations. If you want more profit or success in your business it is important to you that you focus on your presentation.
