Public Speaking: The Eyes Have It

Try this in your next five speeches. Hold eye contact with each audience member you look at for a full four seconds.When I am critiquing videos of even very experienced speakers sometimes I feel like the speaker is watching a tennis match orworse yet a ping pong match.

They oscillate back and forth never really connecting with anyone. If you hold that eye contact just shy of the point where you would be considered staring, I will bet you find that more people want to talk to you after your speech. Try it and let me know how it works.

Start Your Speaking Business For Next To Nothing!
