The Three Most Important Steps for Perfect Body Language When Speaking<\/strong><\/p>

There are no simple rules about how you should stand, where your hands should be, how you should look, or how you should dress for a speech. However, you must achieve three things to support the message of your speech.<\/p>

In her book Speak and Get Results<\/em>, Sandy Linver highlights three key areas: You must convey authority<\/strong>, power<\/strong>, and connection<\/strong> with your audience.
Authority means you look and sound like someone who has something valuable to say about the topic.
Power means the audience understands that the topic truly matters to you.
Connection means involving the audience so they feel like part of the speech.<\/p>

If you are speaking about business topics, this is especially important.

If you are speaking to Greenpeace members or a labor movement group, a business suit might send the wrong signal.<\/p>

Physical Impression<\/strong>
