Summary of "How to be Confident When Presenting"

Key Confidence Strategies for Presenting (Wellness/Productivity Focus: Communication Self-Confidence)

Slow down your speaking pace
- Nervousness often makes people speak too quickly.
- Slowing down helps the audience understand you and makes you sound more confident.
Increase and project your voice volume
- Speak loud enough for everyone to hear.
- Try speaking slightly louder than your normal volume to project better.
- Use breath/voice support from your belly (not just from the mouth area) to help your voice carry.
Add emotion and intonation
- A flat/monotone delivery can feel robotic and less confident.
- Use varied intonation and some emotional engagement to sound more confident and engaging.
