@@eltoro969 what are you smoking. Those guys are basically telling you how to use basic human psychology and social cues to be more engaging and effective. Guess what, real life includes public speaking for many jobs, such as an educator. I suppose you'd be content being a really awkward looking Michael Bay then?
I think the most important thing is self confidence, not being afraid of being laughed at, despised, or rejected once you are used to it nothing can bring you down when you’re doing presentations. A person that has nothing to lose is the most dangerous.
I'm a college professor now but in my previous professional incarnations, I was a business analyst who had to spend a lot of time standing up in front of client audiences sometimes telling them things they did not want to hear, which isn't easy. Although I was nervous in my new life as a professor, mentor and guide, I realized that 1) it was only a matter of time, perhaps just minutes, before I somehow managed to do something or say something that will embarrass me, so I decided to own it before it ever even happens. Every time I get up in front of a class, I tell myself, statistically speaking, there's an 70% probability that at some point during the lecture I'm going to make myself look like an idiot, so don't worry about something I can't control. 2) I'm the most knowledgeable person in re the subject matter in the area code. Both thoughts go along way to helping my self-confidence and now I actually find that I love getting up in front of the students and getting the dialogue ball rolling back and forth.
dammn man that's bad, if that's true then practice more to get one job, eight jobs is like a joke and u will end up loosing a life for nothing. Unless u wanted to say that u got 8 workshops or 8 projects, in your job, or you got proposal from eight different companies to join them or work for them.
Let's face it, these guys are probably so stressed trying to give a speech to an audience about body language while being aware that their body language will be judged more than anyone else
This is just some loosers thinking they are smart, a bunch of weak weirdos that have made up this lession and they think they are succesfull. What a complete waste of time
The fact that there's room for improvement in the presenters' performance does not make the message wrong. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and using whatever tools you had at the time to help and educate us!
Well they're all students of the university who are doing a final project. They are likely nervous and not natural public speakers. They do come across robotic at times however, I will say that they were easy and interesting to listen to which means they are deffo doing something right so i think this presentation is spot on.
Body language is a symptom of confidence. Confidence comes from within. Mindfulness, exercise, healthy internal dialogue and a healthy internal relational system is what leads to confidence. Body language comes second. Prioritizing so heavily on how you physically present is incongruent with how you feel if the motivation for it is a lack of confidence. True confidence is accepting that you don't have confidence, and you don't care how people perceive you. Once your self talk and internal dialogue is healthy, your presentation changes and there won't be a need for this akwardness. Imo, most people versed in psychology can probably see through the inauthentic way these two present themselves.
Although I fully agree with the principle of what you say, how people perceive you is the only focal point of the video. It does not talk about other elements of giving a presentation, like confidence or for example the structure of a presentation. You should care how people perceive you in the sense that it should align with the perception you want them to have in order to absorb what you are trying to tell them. As an example, I experienced a presenter that messed up his hair to divert attention from him being nervous. It clearly allowed him to relax more and present his story with confidence. I remember nothing from the story, only his hair. He was confident, the presentation failed due to a lack of physical presentation. Long story short: confidence is key, body language too
I watched this video several years ago when I was super lack of confidence to speak publicly. I took this as lessons deeply and practiced them everyday. Now, I'm a lecturer in a university and will be a keynote speaker on a webinar called "Public Speaking". Ready to share the lessons! Thank you so much 💕
You can use this anywhere even though the presenters are pretty stiff. People can tell if you're relaxed and approachable just how you are standing. There's a millions ways to be standing up.

I remember when I was in College, my professor recorded everyone so they could see how they look and sound. I think that was the most helpful thing anyone could do to help show and teach someone. This video was helpful as well 😎
@Paul Cho Not necessarily accent, but uniqueness. They all presented pretty much the same way, like presentations we are used to. The korean guy one was different and also he brought in comedic lines that made him more likeable.
@@profbfc him being able to do the "hands over the family jewels" + the exaggerated chopping probably made him more memorable, funny and thus likeable.
This would be such a challenging topic to speak about because, with this topic of body language specifically, you're basically bringing all of the audience's attention and discussion to your body language, so I feel like I would have to have perfect confident body language throughout. They did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing. ❤
@@mrbass1310 Or it's the fact that he chose to wear a t-shirt. Similar to the message in the presentation, this signals to the viewer/audience that they have a more casual/laid back presence thus more likely to be a joking around type of person.
@@mrbass1310 not a single thing you just said was true about what I did. The way Jeong spoke and his body language just told me he was going to have a very deadpan type of humor, I didn’t think I’d find him funny just because he was asian.
Have good posture Use gestures to communicate what you're saying (give/show/chop) Face who you're talking to rather than your visuals Stand in the center of stage/room Don't stand near anything distracting Be open with your arms/don't keep your hands together Don't put your hands in your pockets or on your hips Never point your fingers and keep your palms up when gesturing Ask questions to keep audience engaged/captivated
One tip I’d like to add when engaging your audience is the use of pauses in your speech. A little surprised they didn’t mention this one. A pause after an important statement helps emphasize a point you’re trying to make and the longer you wait, the larger the emphasis. It also helps re-engage those members of the audience who may have tuned out or stopped paying attention.
I was thinking “why does everyone look happy in this video”? Then I looked at how old this video was and it said 2014 and I’m like “ohhhh that’s why”. Gosh what a great year:(
Jeong really made me focus and he was probably the most interesting with how calm he was and he didn't feel like a robot trying to persuade me. And his jokes made me laugh so hard and really made me remember the lessons a lot more firmly.
I agree! I feel like he tried the most to convey his part of the speech most to the audience. instead of focusing how well he was performing, he focused on the audience
The only time I gave a presentation in my school life in my final year I watched all these videos and practiced a bit and got top grades 😭 I was so proud cuz I have anxiety and it's very hard for me to be in everyones attention :')
If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, get hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!
Ironically enough, for me all of their body languages and gestures look extremely uncomfortable and forced. Makes me think on how congruency is important, that is: it's not only about what is the "correct" body language but also about the need that we have to express ourselves and our personalities through or body. I often see great public speakers and teachers that have technically "wrong body language" but they feel much more comfortable and natural. Something to take into account.
I've given hundreds of presentations over my career incl. to small audiences, intimate powerful audiences, and to as many as 7,000. I learned "how to speak" from one of the largest companies in the world, while they were in their "early days," and the one thing I learned that I employed in EVERY presentation was not discussed or used here. In fact, watching each of these presenters, incl Dr. Bailie, Ph.D., I felt as though they were terrified because they did NOT hold eye contact, make a point, then move to the next set of eyes. If you want to appear in command and hold the attention of your audience, before you start a word of your presentation, find a person in the audience, look them in the eye and make your point without moving your gaze. Your stare should not last longer than your breath... Then, as you need/take another breath, pause your speech, move your gaze to another person, look them in their eye and speak. Do this the entire presentation and you will average over 4 stars, will be an "in demand" speaker, and you will love public speaking. It disarms and warms the audience (of course, you must have a command of your material).
Spot on. It's like someone doing a colour by numbers and calling themselves an artist. Body language is picked up on intuitively and we can always tell when someone is trying to do it as opposed to just being themselves. There probably is a way to become someone who uses confident body language but it might be more about working on how you feel about yourself and what you tell yourself as opposed to how you move your arms and body around.
Wow. It’s not forcing people to live or act a certain way, it is a fact that people maintain interest far more with expressive body language. Get over it. This also does not mean people judge others at all, again it is just a communication tool for public speaking.
Jeong was the only one I believed whilst watching this. He seemed pretty comfortable up there whereas the others just felt like they were trying way too hard to not look like they were trying too hard. Also Colin, yo, why you got a shirt 2 sizes too large and pants 2 sizes too small? Your frankfurter needs to not be announcing itself homie.
Thinking back, I can now see why I was able to listen to certain instructors more than others. They had friendlier and professional body language! This was very helpful and I will implement these techniques!
It may not feel the most comfortable, but it looks the most comfortable to your audience. 1. Base posture. Stand in the center, not behind counters. 2. If you use gestures, the audience will remember twice as much. 3. Always re-engage with the audience.
Must say, I am south Somalian we don't communicate without hand gestures.. colonized by Italians, franch, British and American and yet the hand gestures never left.....
Anche se così è decisamente troppo... sembra vecchio teatro.. meglio avere contenuti (qualcosa di interessante da dire) voce chiara e NON gesticolare troppo. Distrae
As someone who’s knees would shake and I still sweat profusely but somehow always did well on oral presentations, I find most helpful is just being in the moment, aware of what your doing, if your believing what your saying and if the audience is paying attention. GL
Man I will say, even if there are nuggets of truth in what they are saying, if you are so aggressively aware that you are using these techniques it'll come across as how they do in this video, which to me is overacting and very offputting, it's really odd and makes me instantly distrust a person who is like this.
if you ask me you should force yourself to interact with other people and stop using the cellphone.. i know many people that are outright afraid to talk to someone they dont know even its just on the phone..
Love when people say "just look straight at the audience" as if the problem is that you don't know where you're MEANT to be looking and not that you're too anxious to maintain looking in that direction. It's the condescending equivalent of saying "just have self confidence" or "just don't be anxious".
The problem is that the audience is this weird amorphous direction and presence when you are presenting to them, in my limited knowledge my advice as a teacher would be to find a direction in which to rotate your gaze, like front-right -> front-left -> back-left -> back-right -> repeat, make eye contact with different people as you go through as to engage them. obviously this doesn't solve the issue of being anxious while giving the presentation but it can help to have a mental direction to follow
"look straight at the audience" is a great advice, because it's something very practical one can actually apply right away, whereas saying "don't be anxious" isn't. Anxiety is much more difficult to control than one's glance.
@@classymuffin4589 One is an action, and the other is an underlying reason for not wanting to do said action. Frankly, controlling anxiety is something that takes work, looking your audience in the eye is an action you can take during a presentation to controll anxiety.
@@legendsofmichael4315 I would much rather have a less impactful presentation than incur a panic attack due to forcing myself to maintain eye contact...I have a strong feeling you don't understand anxiety considering you just recommended to do something that amplifies anxiety in order to control it. Looking literally everywhere EXCEPT at the audience's eyes controls anxiety.
Standing guard at the border during this pandemic we quickly saw the difference between directing traffic with finger pointing versus using the knife hands. Extending arms outside you body mass makes an easily seen body profile and it's message to a driver 50 metres away. Simple, yet so few think about it.
The fewer gestures at the right times will be more meaningful. Direct eye contact with every person you can get to is also good because it pulls them in one by one. Also, memorizing your PowerPoint so you can refer with a gesture to it instead of looking works. At work sitting around the conference table, this seems to come naturally because whatever everyone says is important to us. Nobody cares about a school presentation but when you’re paid to present work stuff to your coworkers, every person cares. Just IMO ❤️🤟🏻
Do you not realise it’s permanently recommending it to different people? It’s not like it just suddenly recommends a random video to every single person.
I would summarize this by saying; Be in the present moment when you are expressing thyself, you'll realize that body language is quite a natural phenomena.
I despise (with a passion) presentations. I would literally skip classes whenever I had to do them. In college I had B’s and C’s because I would skip class and lose up to 50+ points because of the presentation. Then sophomore year I had to take a communication class as a prerequisite for my major and I failed the class with an “F” (just I have an F on my college transcript) so I decided to stop running away and took the class again (passed with a “B”). In summary it may be hard to face your fears but you’ll have to face them one way or another. Why not facing it sooner rather than later? P.s. I still hate doing presentations and hopefully I don’t have to do it again
When I went to college with some friends we all had our generals together. One class we had was Speech. We would go home mentally exhausted. The best part was listening to each other make up shit, fuck up, and act very abnormal and insecure. It was hell, but man it was funny. Now the worst part, is that we had to film ourselves and put it on RUclips. I forgot my student email and so it's still on here. lt also happened to be my worst performance.
You did good to just go for it and face your fears. I too used to have a lot of fear in public speaking. I learned to embrace it in a fun way and now it's enjoyable.
I'm with you...I absolutely hate presenting and same thing. College made me take communication class for my major ....did it help me with presenting, No lol
The first one is definitely the best one, he is beautifully charismatic and his body language can make everyone comfortable and trust him. Well trained politicians express like him, so this skill is like a knife : useful and mortal at the same time depending on your secret agenda.
As a public speaker in my profession these are great points to be reminded of. To those who are “creeped out” you're focusing on the wrong thing. The content is where the real lesson is. FOCUS!
Probably because of the 2020 US Presidential and VP Debates. Non-verbal communication has been winning since Kennedy beat Nixon in the first ever televised debate.
I'm an undergrad student and next week I'll be having my 1st ever class presentation, well as the team leader of my group, learning this is very helpful . Thank you 😊
This was definitely helpful. To summarise: 1) Know your posture and make it most natural. 2) Know your gestures and always use gestures with your palms up. 3) Know your audience and have the ability to interact with them wherever needed.

This would be such a challenging topic to speak about because, with this topic of body language specifically, you're basically bringing all of the audience's attention and discussion to your body language, so I feel like I would have to have perfect confident body language throughout.

nice choice🙂
I should invite you to my classes so you take notes for the rest of us!
One tip I’d like to add when engaging your audience is the use of pauses in your speech. A little surprised they didn’t mention this one.
A pause after an important statement helps emphasize a point you’re trying to make and the longer you wait, the larger the emphasis. It also helps re-engage those members of the audience who may have tuned out or stopped paying attention.
Truu
That's true, but I believe the demonstration was focused solely on body language, and not much on speech. Hence the reason they missed it
just pause instead of saying like or ummm. so many people struggle with the pause!
Its about body language not about speech techniques...
Obama was great at using pauses to emphasize his message.
I was thinking “why does everyone look happy in this video”? Then I looked at how old this video was and it said 2014 and I’m like “ohhhh that’s why”. Gosh what a great year:(

Jeong really made me focus and he was probably the most interesting with how calm he was and he didn't feel like a robot trying to persuade me. And his jokes made me laugh so hard and really made me remember the lessons a lot more firmly.
I agree! I feel like he tried the most to convey his part of the speech most to the audience. instead of focusing how well he was performing, he focused on the audience
He was my absolute favorite. I could listen to him for two hours straight

Facts
Agreed
That's so true!
apparently, Steve got the same class
The deliberation he gives to his hand movements per word is mental, it's almost like his own interpretation of sign language in a way.
mirror practice
Ironically enough, for me all of their body languages and gestures look extremely uncomfortable and forced. Makes me think on how congruency is important, that is: it's not only about what is the "correct" body language but also about the need that we have to express ourselves and our personalities through or body.
I often see great public speakers and teachers that have technically "wrong body language" but they feel much more comfortable and natural. Something to take into account.
@@tyqwe45qe The movements are exaggerated cuz this is a teaching context, they are just trying to show easy to understand example
If you watch with no audio it does come across like a version of sign language.
I've given hundreds of presentations over my career incl. to small audiences, intimate powerful audiences, and to as many as 7,000. I learned "how to speak" from one of the largest companies in the world, while they were in their "early days," and the one thing I learned that I employed in EVERY presentation was not discussed or used here. In fact, watching each of these presenters, incl Dr. Bailie, Ph.D., I felt as though they were terrified because they did NOT hold eye contact, make a point, then move to the next set of eyes. If you want to appear in command and hold the attention of your audience, before you start a word of your presentation, find a person in the audience, look them in the eye and make your point without moving your gaze. Your stare should not last longer than your breath... Then, as you need/take another breath, pause your speech, move your gaze to another person, look them in their eye and speak. Do this the entire presentation and you will average over 4 stars, will be an "in demand" speaker, and you will love public speaking. It disarms and warms the audience (of course, you must have a command of your material).
I lived for almost 25 years and now I finally know how to stand still.

Ha! They practiced this way too many times. The next thing to focus on is the natural flow of conversation and learning to improvise.
lololololololol Thank You
So Mark Zuckerberg was in the audience lol or he was a guest speaker and they cut it out lol
Spot on. It's like someone doing a colour by numbers and calling themselves an artist. Body language is picked up on intuitively and we can always tell when someone is trying to do it as opposed to just being themselves. There probably is a way to become someone who uses confident body language but it might be more about working on how you feel about yourself and what you tell yourself as opposed to how you move your arms and body around.
well its a business schol hahaha
This was entertaining and educational at the same time.

Presencial classes in university be like
@Manny Solve how is this forcing anyone? It’s a college course you pay for yourself buddy. Theyre choosing this.
@Manny Solve Very real perspective. I appreciate that insight.
Wow. It’s not forcing people to live or act a certain way, it is a fact that people maintain interest far more with expressive body language. Get over it. This also does not mean people judge others at all, again it is just a communication tool for public speaking.
Just when I mastered these concepts, we're all doing virtual presentations now.

It may not feel the most comfortable, but it looks the most comfortable to your audience.
1. Base posture. Stand in the center, not behind counters.
2. If you use gestures, the audience will remember twice as much.
3. Always re-engage with the audience.

As someone who’s knees would shake and I still sweat profusely but somehow always did well on oral presentations, I find most helpful is just being in the moment, aware of what your doing, if your believing what your saying and if the audience is paying attention. GL
Man I will say, even if there are nuggets of truth in what they are saying, if you are so aggressively aware that you are using these techniques it'll come across as how they do in this video, which to me is overacting and very offputting, it's really odd and makes me instantly distrust a person who is like this.
I'm also an introvert, but I have no problems dealing with presentations. Maybe you confound self confidence and being an introvert?
if you ask me you should force yourself to interact with other people and stop using the cellphone.. i know many people that are outright afraid to talk to someone they dont know even its just on the phone..

Good luck brotha :)

Sameee!! 😂
Same hehehe
nice joke.
Love when people say "just look straight at the audience" as if the problem is that you don't know where you're MEANT to be looking and not that you're too anxious to maintain looking in that direction. It's the condescending equivalent of saying "just have self confidence" or "just don't be anxious".
The problem is that the audience is this weird amorphous direction and presence when you are presenting to them, in my limited knowledge my advice as a teacher would be to find a direction in which to rotate your gaze, like front-right -> front-left -> back-left -> back-right -> repeat, make eye contact with different people as you go through as to engage them. obviously this doesn't solve the issue of being anxious while giving the presentation but it can help to have a mental direction to follow
"look straight at the audience" is a great advice, because it's something very practical one can actually apply right away, whereas saying "don't be anxious" isn't. Anxiety is much more difficult to control than one's glance.
@@streawkceurseL I'm really not sure you understand how anxiety works. In my eyes both phrases border on being the same thing.
@@classymuffin4589 One is an action, and the other is an underlying reason for not wanting to do said action. Frankly, controlling anxiety is something that takes work, looking your audience in the eye is an action you can take during a presentation to controll anxiety.
@@legendsofmichael4315 I would much rather have a less impactful presentation than incur a panic attack due to forcing myself to maintain eye contact...I have a strong feeling you don't understand anxiety considering you just recommended to do something that amplifies anxiety in order to control it. Looking literally everywhere EXCEPT at the audience's eyes controls anxiety.
The audience looked exactly like I thought they would

The fewer gestures at the right times will be more meaningful. Direct eye contact with every person you can get to is also good because it pulls them in one by one. Also, memorizing your PowerPoint so you can refer with a gesture to it instead of looking works. At work sitting around the conference table, this seems to come naturally because whatever everyone says is important to us. Nobody cares about a school presentation but when you’re paid to present work stuff to your coworkers, every person cares. Just IMO ❤️🤟🏻

@@nickn7939 true!!
I despise (with a passion) presentations. I would literally skip classes whenever I had to do them. In college I had B’s and C’s because I would skip class and lose up to 50+ points because of the presentation. Then sophomore year I had to take a communication class as a prerequisite for my major and I failed the class with an “F” (just I have an F on my college transcript) so I decided to stop running away and took the class again (passed with a “B”). In summary it may be hard to face your fears but you’ll have to face them one way or another. Why not facing it sooner rather than later?
P.s.
I still hate doing presentations and hopefully I don’t have to do it again
C-
Good job facing your fears.
When I went to college with some friends we all had our generals together. One class we had was Speech. We would go home mentally exhausted. The best part was listening to each other make up shit, fuck up, and act very abnormal and insecure.
It was hell, but man it was funny. Now the worst part, is that we had to film ourselves and put it on RUclips. I forgot my student email and so it's still on here. lt also happened to be my worst performance.
You did good to just go for it and face your fears. I too used to have a lot of fear in public speaking. I learned to embrace it in a fun way and now it's enjoyable.
I'm with you...I absolutely hate presenting and same thing. College made me take communication class for my major ....did it help me with presenting, No lol
