Do these 4 things:
The intent to be open with your audience.
– How can you be more open? Try to imagine giving your presentation to someone with whom you are completely relaxed. This is the state you need to be in if you are to have an authentic rapport with your audience.
The intent to connect with your audience.
– Think about wanting – needing to engage your listeners. Imagine that a young child you know well isnt heeding you. You want to capture the child’s attention however you can.
The intent to be passionate about your topic.
– Focus not on what you want to say but on why you are giving the speech and how you feel about that.
The intent to “listen” to your audience.
– What they are feeling or expecting before you begin as a speaker?
