When training and using visual aids, such as PowerPoint slides, flipcharts, objects, and so forth, it is important to do so in a way that is interesting, rather than distracting. When you are presenting, you should think of yourself as if you were an entertainer on stage. Notice how you walk, where you position yourself, and if your posture and poise appears confident. An effective way to develop stage presence when presenting visual aids is to take a lesson from the forecast specialist on your evening news. You will see when they explain the forecast, they will touch the visual aid, turn to the audience, and talk as they explain the forecast. Keeping your body facing forward and your eyes on the audience will keep your participants engaged.
