During a presentation, connecting with your audience is vital. Enter the presentation space confidently; smile, keep your head up and your shoulders back. Before you begin, pause long enough to make meaningful eye contact with one or two audience members. Doing so will help you connect with your audience and signal your readiness to begin. Upon closing, pause again before leaving the presentation space – if you are “talkin’ while walkin’” you can appear rushed and unprofessional.
