Watch this short video [1:51 min.] on 'Intentionality', in which Andrew Bryant discusses how our intentions are expressed in our nonverbal communication, whether we aware of it or not. Audiences will know whether you care about your own message and their needs, or not. Before you give any presentation, think carefully about why you are doing it, and what you can give to your audience.
