- prepare a presentation to achieve the greatest impact;
- present effectively and with greater confidence.
This chapter applies the tools and techniques of determining the strategy, structuring communication coherently, and using language effectively – to the art of public speaking.
A leader must project a strong, positive ethos in all presentation situations.

3. Adopt a secure stance
4. Establish and maintain eye contact.
5. Project and vary your voice.
6. Demonstrate your messages with gestures.
