Rookie Mistakes to Avoid, Part II
Rookie Mistakes to Avoid, Part II:
Most inexperienced seminar speakers are nervous and anxious about public speaking. That nervousness translates into awkward movement around the front of the room.
For the audience, it can be very distracting when the speaker is pacing nervously back and forth across the stage - this may work well if you're a stand-up comedian like Chris Rock, but but if you're not Chris Rock, I suggest you stop your nervous pacing.
I've been to many seminars where the speaker is like one of those ducks in an amusement park shooting gallery - I have a hard time paying attention to their talk when I'm too distracted watching their awkward, nervous pacing.
Tomorrow I'll give you a terrific tip you can put to use immediately that will totally eliminate your nervous, awkward pacing and give you a commanding presence at the front of the room.
See you tomorrow!
