Now some tips on your behavior during the presentation

- Remember to talk to everyone in the room.

- Look at people, and smile from time to time.

- Talk to the audience – don’t write out everything you are going to say and read it aloud. If you do, it will probably sound boring, and you’ll be looking down at your papers instead of looking at the listeners.

- If you have visual aids, don’t turn round to look at them: look at the audience and at your computer screen.

- If you seem confident, your audience will relax – and you’ll feel more confident yourself.
