Own the Room!

Own the Room! 2

Here, am I running away from the room? No, I’m using body language to make a point about using the entire space.

We don’t want to merely survive our next presentation. We want to own the room!

  • Walk to the front as though you “own the joint.”
  • Have zero doubt about your credentials.
  • Communicate your expectations.
  • Gently but firmly reinforce any boundaries you set.
  • If there are experts in the room, use them.
  • Get your audience involved from the get-go.
  • Laugh at yourself.
  • Be vulnerable when that would put others at ease.
  • Be aware of any distractions and quell them.

As the speaker, you are the steward of the space. You must manage and nourish the space, for the benefit of all.
