You're about to give a presentation. How can your body language help you exude confidence?

Using your body language effectively can make all the difference in exuding confidence during a presentation. Start by standing tall with your shoulders back. Keep your chin up and maintain steady eye contact. Use purposeful hand gestures to emphasize key points. I always practice deep breathing to stay relaxed. Avoid crossing your arms or fidgeting. Smile naturally to convey warmth. By mastering these simple techniques, you'll project confidence and command your audience's attention.

Neulich erfuhr ich die Kraft der Visualisierung - bei Warm-Up-übungen vor einer Wanderung. Die Vorstellung, ich sei ein gro?er stabiler Baum, tief und breit verwurzelt in der Erde, führte dazu, dass ich keine Gleichgewichtsprobleme bei den übungen mehr hatte.

It's easy to underestimate the importance of eye contact before speaking. But it all starts before you've said a word. Just as when you're about to make a phone call, you're looking for the best network. Before you speak, you're looking for the best connection with your audience. And that includes making eye contact from the start.

Standing up properly not only gives confidence to oneself and to the audience watching, but also conveys respect for those who chose to listen to us. This can be translated to the online dissertation, it is important to keep the camera at eye level, stand up straight, there are some who postulate that to appear more natural, it would be convenient to stand, and of course the calculated movement of the hands.

In jüngeren Jahren, war ich oft damit besch?ftigt, wo beim Vorw?rtsgehen hinschauen. Ich versuchte direkten Blickkontakt mit mir entgegenkommenden Menschen zu vermeiden. Doch mittlerweile finde ich, dass dieses Verhalten anstrengender ist, als Leute gegenüber anzuschauen.

I particularly like to express myself with my hands, as well as showing confidence, it is also a way of generating a link with the audience, making them participate, as if inviting them to see what we are really saying.

Wenn ich mir vorstelle, die Schauspieler:innen auf einer Theaterbühne würden nur reden und nicht gestikulieren, w?ren Aufführungen nur halb so interessant. Auch Vortragsredner:innen sollten ihre Inhalte mit passender Gestik erg?nzen bzw. unterstreichen. Das f?rdert die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums.

The change of expressions can be different nuances to the dissertation, in this way we can show relaxed and smiling to make the audience feel different, maybe accompany with a funny image but we can denote importance when we want that topic to really feel a pillar in our dissertation. The combination of body language, voice tones and facial expression make the difference in the amount of attention of the audience and generally occurs at the beginning of the dissertation, averaging in full climax and finally in a more relaxed way to close the conclusions.

Wer seine Emotionen nicht unterdrückt und damit nicht versteckt, wirkt gleich menschlicher und wie "einer von uns aus dem Publikum". Echte, statt unpassende oder übertriebene, Emotionen zeigen auf, dass im Leben eine Vielfalt an Gefühlen aufkommt. All diese Gefühle haben ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Leben fühlt sich mal wie Comedy und mal wie Dramaturgie an. Lassen wir dies das Publikum spüren.

By changing the tones and volumes of voice, we can emphasise those words or phrases that we want our audience to feel are important and that they should not forget, it is like underlining or highlighting texts but with words. It is magic.

An den Beispielen "M?rchen vorlesen" oder "Synchronsprecher:in sein" wird deutlich, was eine monotone Stimme erreichen würde: Langeweile oder Desinteresse beim Zuh?ren. Eine Stimme ohne variablen Ausdruck, w?re auch vergleichbar mit einem Klavierkonzert ohne Dynamik. Musik als auch Text brauchen spitze und breite Betonungen, leise und laute Passagen, und einiges mehr.

Being an expert in the subject matter helps to exude confidence. Dressing in professional and comfortable clothing and shoes. Standing tall and straight, with shoulders back. Take a deep breath while scanning the room. Begin with a profound yet humorous statement that throws everyone off with laughter - then deliver a presentation that is well organized, to the point and provides new information the attendees can use to improve their life or the lives of others.

Recently I was listening to a biologist specialising in neuroscience, and he said, there are two ways of attracting the attention of the public, conscious and unconscious. The conscious way is given naturally when the topic attracts the audience and they follow the story with attention, on the other hand, the unconscious attention is achieved by moving during the presentation, in a calculated way but that seems casual, in this way the audience follows you as a speaker and generates an unconscious attention on who is speaking. You have to achieve both.
