Be still

“An effective speaker knows that the success or failure of his talk is not for him to decide - it will be decided in the minds and hearts of his hearers.”

- Dale Carnegie

Dear Candy:

The key to being a successful presenter is to always keep your audience in mind. Here are a few tips on building a rapport with your audience while presenting:

- Consider yourself honored by being asked to address an audience - and say so!
- Give your listeners sincere appreciation
- Mention the names of some listeners
- Talk in terms of your listeners' interests
- Appeal to the nobler emotions of your audience
