VISUALS OF YOUR PRESENTATION(S)
* Video clips and playback can be helpful to monitoring devices. Ask a colleague to video you delivering a talk and then play it back.
A great deal will be revealed in terms of gesture and body language. Included will be elements of visual performance about which you, as a presenter, were unconscious.
These might consist of scratching your arm or bum, picking your nose, sniffing audible, offering inappropriate eye contact and so on.
These revelations will help you as a presenter to be more conscious of visual elements (of presentation) about which you had no idea.

SPEAK CLEARLY
CLARITY of speech is essential. In our modern times, multiculturalism and dialectic emphasis can make speech hard to understand. While individualism and grammatical uniqueness should be respected, that does not wave the need for presenters to deliver in a way that allows the audience to comprehend and understand what is being said fully.
This need will challenge some presenters, but the matter is one they must strive to master. Without making the necessary changes to make speech ‘legible’, they will become inconsequential as presenters.
Absolutely true! Video playback can offer valuable insights into our unconscious visual behaviors during presentations. Speaking clearly is indeed crucial, especially in diverse and multicultural settings. Maintaining legibility and ensuring that the audience comprehends the message are vital for effective communication. It’s a challenge worth mastering for presenters to have a lasting impact. 🗣️🎥
