What not to do
- Starting by apologising and highlighting their own faults
- Fixating on tiny fluffs, while ignoring or denying they do things they could improve on
- Not making eye contact with the audience; looking at the floor, over their heads, talking to the flipchart, the powerpoint, their notes…
- Talking too fast without pauses
- Talking in a monotone
- Panic breathing from the chest, producing a squeaky little voice
- Twisting hands, hiding hands, flapping hands about
- Pacing about or always speaking sitting down
- Not listening to questions
- Going on too long
