Craig Valentine offers 10 simple guidelines for adding impact to your speech. Included are: 1. Don’t move all the time. If you are always moving then no movement will be meaningful. Your audience will never know what’s most important. Move with a purpose. When there is no reason to move, don’t. Don’t use the same gesture over and over again. This is evidence of a habit and most likely distracts from your presentation. Read the full list with more details and audio-examples here.

Tools to analyze and ultimately improve conversation and communication generally have traditionally come in the form of suggestions or guidelines written in a textbook or a how-to-do-it trade book. But, recently, software programs such as Cogito have been developed. These programs are based on an extremely thorough analysis of all sorts of communication signals, especially nonverbal signals, for example, varied or consistent emphasis, mimicking or mirroring, and vocal-cord tension.

Firstly, the rules are not rules, they are guidelines. But, a guideline is there to guide you; rules are there to enforce your behaviour. One of the common comments that I receive from people who have attended presentation skills training, is that they are given a whole lot of rules that they should be following. In fact, it is very often a list of dos and don’ts. For example: Don’t. face away from the audience. fill your slides with words. hide behind the lectern. talk to fast.
