This is the first of a set of a short series (13 I think!) of “the blinding obvious” when it comes to making presentations – particularly, in terms of dealing with the nerves associated with presenting. After all, it’s all very well and good talking about the subtle stuff but there’s quite a bit that gets taken for granted by trainers.<\/p>\n
Without further ado, therefore… Dress comfortably.<\/p>\n By that I don’t mean you should always wear jeans and a Tshirt (or whatever your personal preference is) but rather you should feel like you look good. It’s worth splashing out a good shirt, nice jacket or whatever it it gives you the right feeling when you pop it on. In short – dress the part…. something a little special. A quick trip to the toilets before you start (you’ll probably be doing that anyway) to check how you look is a quick re-assurer. Hair – tidy enough? Teeth – nothing stuck in them? Tie – central and straight? Fly – fastened? (Okay, so those last two are for me only, but….)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the first of a set of a short series (13 I think!) of “the blinding obvious” when it comes to making presentations – particularly, in terms of dealing with the nerves associated with […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-presentation-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.awareplus.co.uk\/presentation-skills-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nObvious Presentation Hint 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAs the adverts say, if you look good on the outside you’ll feel good on the inside. Of course, that’s not true is it, but the inverse of it is: if you know you look bad on the outside you’ll feel bad on the inside, so the least you can do for yourself is give yourself a fighting chance.<\/p>\n
