Impromptu Presentations • Accept the invitation with assurance • Present your ideas with confidence • Don’t stammer, stall, or look unhappy • Organize your thoughts • Drawn an outline before you speak • Present Reasons, Logic or facts to support your viewpoint • This will make you more persuasive and more credible

( missing note cards, missing slides, technical difficulties, etc.) • Rehearsing minimize complications and insures you and your audience that you know the material. Why rehearse?

25. Ways to rehearse • Rehearse one your feet in front of a small audience to practice and gain confidence. • Pay attention to your introduction and conclusion. The audience always remember the first and last part of your speech, be effective. • Rehearse in a similar setting, to get a feel for it and explore where you will set all your equipment.

26. Time to shine • Forget about your nervousness, and focus on your topic and your audience. • If you speak effectively you will congregate attention from your audience and your audience will acknowledge your statements.

Myths • Think rationally about your presentation and performance. • The following three myths are irrational beliefs that can lead to unnecessary hesitation: • Myth 1: A presentation must be perfect • Myth2: It is possible to persuade the entire audience. • Myth 3: The worst will probably happen.

( manuscript, memorized, extemporaneous, impromptu) • A good delivery involves effective visual, verbal, and vocal elements. • Verbally, use appropriate vocabulary and pronunciation. • Vocally, use enough volume, variety, and pauses to sound well rehearsed and committed.
