Unit 3    Online & Offline Presentation

Presentation skill involves harnessing verbal language for the purpose of persuading the audience while delivering a presentation. Non-verbal persuasive skill, on the other hand, involves the appropriate use of body movement (posture/gesture/facial expression) and voice (tone/speed/inflection) to enhance the overall persuasiveness of a presentation.

You have probably had the experience of listening to a speaker whose tone of speech or slow delivery leaves you unengaged. That speaker may have some valid arguments but you're unlikely to notice. A lack of non-verbal skill during delivery can completely undermine your well-constructed verbal argument. The videos in this unit demonstrate how verbal and non-verbal skills can work in concert to give your presentations greater impact.

"There are two types of speakers: those who get nervous, and those who are liars". So wrote Mark Twain. Most of us would happily agree with this assertion. Our fear of public speaking has been shown in many cases to be greater than fear of death. This might seem extraordinary, but we believe it results from the fact that few people have an opportunity to develop skills that will mitigate this fear.

This video provides 5 tips of how the use of body movement can help delivering your message more effectively on stage.
