      and uhs
4. Tips for controlling your body language to communicate the message you want
5.  Keys to identifying and eliminating nervous habits and jitters
6.  Nonverbal know-how: 
       Eye contact exercises

       “Ricky Bobby Syndrome”
7. The Three-Minute First Impression: What you absolutely must do in the first 180 seconds to build rapport and credibility with the
      people you meet
8. How to banish boring presentation openings (by figuring out what everyone else is doing—and then NOT doing it)
9. The three must-haves in a presentation opening to hook your audience (beneficial for technical presenters)
10. How to avoid just fizzling out at the end by closing with conviction every time

NIX NERVOUSNESS: Participants will engage in a round-table discussion of two dozen
public speaking techniques for technical professionals who can relate to the following:

• Quite frankly, you hate public speaking
• You’ve been embarrassed because you get shaky hands or a quivering voice when you stand up to speak
• You don’t want people in the audience counting every time you say “um” or “and uh”
• You just don’t want to be monotone when it’s your time to shine

Everyone from the anxious beginner to the confident professional will grow from expert advice on how to nix nervousness covered in the final minutes of the program.
