Chapter 25 express enthusiastically

When you go on stage to address your audience, look expectant, not like a man about to go to the gallows.The brisk gait may be mostly fake, but it will do wonders for you and give your audience the feeling that you have something you're very keen to talk about.Just before you start speaking, take a deep breath and don't lean against the desk or anything.The head is raised and the jaw is raised.You are about to tell your listeners something of value, and every part of you should make it clear and unmistakable to them.Now you are in charge, act as if, as William James said.If you can manage to get the sound to the back of the hall, the sound effect will give you more confidence.Once you start gesturing, they are even more uplifting.

In short, remember this saying: Be hot and you will be hot.
