Do you wish your public speaking skills were stronger? Do you worry about losing your audience's attention when presenting your research? Scholars tend to emphasize content over delivery, when in fact the manner in which you deliver your presentation is just as important as the material being presented. This workshop was led by a trained actor who discussed some of the basic yet overlooked principles of speaking in front of an audience, why an engaging presentation is so important for communicating your research, and some simple techniques that can help remedy bad public speaking habits. This workshop was interactive and required those who registered to offer a short two minute presentation on a pre-circulated topic.

This was good, the journey of knowledge and learning is the point, not the end.

i read about 7 books on how to read body language. i would advise you do the same to be aware of your body language so you can control it to seem more open and confident

None of them had a real fear of public speaking.

Watching US university lectures is so rewarding but also galling. Education in my European country doesn't compare.

The most important thing is still 7%. If you have everything else and 7% is useless information, you speech is entertained, but it's useless.

"The Art of Public Speaking" begins with eight tedious minutes of introduction.

Content is pretty good...but that guy over acts! He talks like he is monologuing in a play - with ego. Also, he wasn't truly present...not listening to the comments from the group, but too busy thinking about what he wants to say next. Acknowledgement of comments was consistently "Yeah". Also didn't explore the comments given by the group (confirmatory questions) which would demonstrate genuine interest.

Not much content for an hour-long lecture. Know your habits, because they come out when you’re nervous? Only 7 % of a presentation is the actual contents? Sure, your presentation style is fine, but I came for the 7 %.
