Public Speaking & Confidence

For the public speaking part I joined the Guild of Toastmasters many years ago and learned through them. I think they are still on the go and offer the same sort of training.

Tips for the presentation itself - don't read out what is on the slide that is showing - that insults your audience who can read it themselves. Instead offer an overview and some additional info.

Avoid wearing clothes that will make you hot as you probably will warm up automatically from the tension and too many layers can make you feel restricted.

Maybe keep the odd question for the audience with a token gift for the right answer - this will keep them engaged and gives a nice distraction when it gets boring.

Most other points are already covered here I think.
