Anchoring to One Side of the Room	Scoping and Targeting for Interaction
Building a Presenter’s Triangle	Shifting Weight to Look Relaxed
Three Positions in the Triangle	Gesturing to Get Help
Rest & Power – Angles of the Body	Avoiding Filler Words (um, er, etc.)

	Anchoring to One Side When using visual support, present from the reading-anchor side of the room. For example, if the content is in English, present from the audience left-side since the reading pattern is left-to-right. Back to Clip List
	The Presenter’s Triangle^™ Body language is based on proximity — how close or how far you are from people. The Presenter’s Triangle is an imaginary space in which to move while speaking. Back to Clip List
	Three Positions The Presenter’s Triangle^™ only uses three positions or places for movement within the defined space. This allows for consistency in delivery. Back to Clip List
	Rest & Power Only TWO angles of your body are needed for emphasis. The REST position is when you stand at a 45-degree angle to the room. The POWER position is when you square-off (90-degree angle) to the back of the room. Back to Clip List
	Scoping and Targeting Interaction is effectively achieved through an “offer” where the audience knows who is invited to participate and who is selected. “Scoping” defines those included in the offer (as in a question, for example). “Targeting” denotes a choice among those who accept the offer (such as those who raise a hand to participate). Back to Clip List
	Shifting Weight To make gestures appear “natural” your stance should be shifted to one foot or the other – where your chin lines up over your knee. This shifted stance look relaxed and allows for more natural gestures — where the hands are at different heights and different depths. Back to Clip List
	Gesturing for Help Once the hands are established as communication tools, you can use gestures to reference content without appearing as if you are reading information or getting help on the topic from the visual. Back to Clip List
	Avoiding Fillers “Fillers” are the sounds we make in-between the words we say, such as: um, uh, er, okay, right, etc. This is the mind “thinking out loud”. Yet, the audience should not be hearing anything except silence while you are thinking. Back to Clip List
