Hey Peter,

Wow, I haven’t been here for a while and all I can say that I really dig the new design (I also launched mine just hours ago).

Some people (no idea why) believe that when speaking publicly, it’s best to stand up without any papers in your hands, because that way you look more confident, more prepared, blablabla.. however, I believe that it’s better to use your notices than to remain speechless.

I can also relate to the importance of dressing well. If you’re not dressed appropriately, the awkward feeling when you realize it will make you feel absolutely incompetent.

Nice list.

Zoli.

I have been following your articles for awhile another great post. I especially like to emphasize #5 when giving a presentation. Our adrenaline is pumping through us when we present in front of people making it a common practice to speak quickly. However, speaking quickly will only engage us in a feedback loop which pumps more adrenaline in us making us think we are even more nervous than we initially were. Consciously speaking very slowly can calm our nerves and fool ourself into a confidence that will project onto our audience.

“Practice”

For me, that’s the most important tip. Practice builds confidence you need to face an audience.
