Working professionals want to know how body language can be
used effectively in presentations. Here are two easy ways to boost the delivery
of your presentation and to know if you’re message is being optimally received.
1. Be mindful of how your listeners are seated. As
a rule, we move towards sounds and visuals we like, and move away or try to
downplay things that we don’t. This shows in Body Language as well. Keep this
in mind, while presenting, if your audience’s body is angled towards you,
leaning in, and eye contact is maintained it is generally a good sign.
Similarly, when someone is tuned into what you are saying, general shifty
movements are to a minimum, but rise when they are not interested or in
disagreement. Over time, you can learn how to fine tune your response according
to the interest of your listeners, and change topic as per your convenience.

2.
Hold open postures. Avoid folded arms, slouching
and low energy movements. Holding open postures also gives the voice larger
range. My dance teacher taught me a very important lesson about performance,
which holds true to any form of public speaking as well: give energy to get
energy.
Hope this was useful. If you have given presentations in the
past I am sure you would realize that there is a lot more to giving
presentations which we usually go through in our courses, but this is a great
place to start. I’ve condensed lot of data here, so I am sure it would be a
good revision.
Keep shining!
