The MBA's Speech

Some tips on presenting from Timothy Koegel, author of The Exceptional Presenter.

Your hands should be down at your sides in your base position. (Relaxed, confident, open)
Avoid:
  • The T-Rex: Hands held constantly in front of you with your elbows locked at your side, gesticulating randomly
  • The Fig Leaf: Hands clasped together in front of you, usually covering your groin.
  • Parade Rest: Hands clasped together behind you
  • Hands in Pockets
  • Arms crossed
  • Hands on hips
Additionally, gestures should be specific and only used to enhance your message.
