As my relevant group presentation is coming up, I need to prepare and get ready for my presentation to my audience. Fortunately, I have prior experience in public speaking during my time in the Boy Scouts and participating in other community events. While my prior knowledge and experience are helpful, the video "Be a More Confident Public Speaker" was a nice refresher and brought up some important topics and key details I should remember to use during my presentation. To begin, before any presentation, I will prepare. This is an extremely important topic discussed because as the speaker you must know what your are saying and presenting. Having your presentation known off the back of your hand is vital in order to have a great presentation and it makes you more confident and relaxed during it. I will make sure I am very well prepared going into my presentation. I will review my information and even practice in front of a mirror or my family to give me an idea on what I will be saying. The next important detail the video discussed was posture. Going in to this, I plan on using good posture and using other tactics like eye-movement, hand gestures, etc. Again, practicing in front of a mirror will be helpful to develop and properly execute these skills. The last detail discussed was to pander your audience or have control of the room. For this I plan on having a hook introduction to engage my audience and use other important information during the presentation to keep them engaged and wanting to learn more. Additionally, I want to involve the audience members by having a survey or something interactive. Lastly, I will end with a meaningful summary of all the information I discovered. Overall, the video was very helpful to provide some guidance I as get prepared to present to my relevant audience.
