Podium and lectern are two different things. She should have done her homework. Not good.
I am not sure if leaning comfortably on the podium is a bad thing – yes, if you camp there for the entire speech, it is… but if you go around and back to the podium and lean, it shows some authority over the audience, as if “I can lean on the podium and this stage is mine”.
watch this on mute, and the subtitles dont even make sense. i was just starting to think this was funny then she walked into the plant.
very funny!
I love this person! She’s really nice and has some great tips and this angrish pose is funny.. =)
It’s really just basics she’s talking about…. Watch successful people, copy successful people’s body language. Copy/paste is the way to go.
podium and lectern are synonymous. fyi.
Good content, but just FYI, podium is the platform that you stand on. Lectern is the item on the table there that you were leaning on.
Great advice on how body language effects a speech. I have additional videos on body language and stage movement on my channel. Check it out!
great video
ahah I guess so…
oh yeah?.. but she impress me. whts she say is true. it’s no matter what she wear like but the point out of her words. LOL
Is it a bit authoritarian ?
how was your speech ?
speaking . sorry for ‘typo’
If you are looking for public spekaing tips, don’t come to this woman. She can hardly speak English; she is useless and who in their right mind would actually think of standing next to a plant while speaking. First thing she needs to do is dress. Your first impression comes from what someone looks like; based on this old lady, I’m bored before she even opens her gob
OMG i hava demonstrative speech on fri and i’m teaching ppl the basics of Shao lin Kongfu and its freaking me out. my dad thinks my speech sucks and i’m looking for resources on the internet.
does expertvilage has everything haan?
Why is she so upset? It looks like she’s been to many Mafia public speaking events. The only speakers who hide behind a tree are those avoiding being seen by police who suddenly walk in. Same thing – only Mafia bosses lean and hold on to the podium and say “YOu talkin to me?” and same thing with nervous pacing – – and smoking a cigarette – – planning their next hit.
She broke my speakers lol
I don’t want to HIDE myself behind a podium…because I was to SHOW myself to all……When I deliver presentatons I use the rest of the space……..
When I delivered a presentaion in the State Bank of Pakistan I didn’t use the pdium….There were a table for exetives next to that..so I had to come down the 2 feet high platform
So this video tells you NOT to stand behind a plant when public speaking?
Wow, how enlightening.
This video is for someone who has never had human contact before.
she reminds me of my primary school teacher
Her voice is very loud. i had to lower the volume.
ahnn ahnn ahhn ahhn, She’s so funny.
I god she’s annoying! But it was a helpful video, thanks!
