I would be careful not to stray to far though. You don't want your audience to feel as if they are watching a tennis match as you go back and forth. ;-) Good advice, Sara.

Lots of speakers stay frozen behind the podium with a death grip on the lectern. Instead, try stepping away from the podium and move naturally - it helps regulate breathing, as well as reduce the shaking that can come when you're really nervous. Also, don't forget to leave time at the end of a presentation for Q&A. It can spark some great dialog and help you end your presentation on a high note. Hope this helps! Hi Shell,
