Nerves.... The main enemy of a presenter
is tension, which ruins thevoice, posture & spontaneity.
Voice becomes higher as thethroat tenses.
Shoulders tighten up & limitflexibility while the legs start toshake & cause unsteadiness.
The presentation becomes"canned" as the speaker locks inon notes & starts to readdirectly from them.
If I had a way to remove all fear
of speaking for you, I wouldnt
do it. The day you become
casual about speaking is the day
you risk falling on your face.

Fifty percent of the population of the US is killing itself. On
this room, over half of us are eating ourselves to an early
death brought on by too much fat in our diets. Countless
studies indicate that there is a very real relationship betweenour diet & the development of life-threatening diseases such
as cancer, stroke & diabetes. The Surgeon Generals Report on
Nutrition and Health concurs with this correlation by stating
that the single most influential dietary change one can maketo lower the risks of diseases such as cancer, stroke & diabetes
is to reduce intake of foods high in fat.
Today I am going to stand before you to convince you to
reduce your daily intake of fat. I will give you three well-
documented reasons that its important to eat a low-fat diet
and then we will look at what a healthy diet looks like. Please
attend to my message, as what I say may save your life.
