I really enjoyed your presentation and was kicking myself that I missed it live..Your message dominated your nerves and made you shine. Well done! <br /><br />JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783092038038653693.post-64305242499775903052012-01-04T17:46:53.836-08:002012-01-04T17:46:53.836-08:00Loved it Gary!! I&#39;ll take honesty and enthusiasm over a great presenter any day (and you weren&#39;t as bad as you think!)! <br /><br />My advice for next time: Don&#39;t try to sync up with the slides so hard next time. Go ahead and let them tell their own story. This will give you one less thing to focus on/worry about! Also, try to shorten your notes as much as possible. You went through a ton of cards. Once again, simple is better. Rehearse in front of a stand up mirror until you feel you don&#39;t need the cards. Keep them as a safety net. Rehearsal time will make you more confident. When you do rehearse, do it as you would onstage. Speak out loud and clear. Lastly, if you have the jitters when you walk out on stage, keep your gaze to just over the audience members heads. They will still feel engaged and probably won&#39;t even realize that you&#39;re not making eye contact. As you warm up, then you can take in the audience.<br /><br />See you in almost a week!!!!!<br /><br />All Day!<br />~Kenken michalhttp://runningstupid.net/noreply@blogger.com
