Eye Contact, like all elements of non-verbal communication, is extremely important when delivering a presentation.
When done correctly, there is a better connection with those watching and listening.
When Eye Contact is not done well, there can be a disconnect between what you intend to convey and what your audience perceives as your message.
The following Best Eye Contact Tips: Dos and Don’ts are IMPORTANT!
Read them – Understand them – Use them!
DO
When speaking:
DO look at individuals directly in the eye, finish a thought, then
DO move on to someone else in a different section. Repeat.
DO look at all places your audience is seated.
When answering a question:
DO start answering by looking directly at the person who asked the question, then follow the above directions.
DON’T
When speaking:
DON’T stare at anyone. That would make them uncomfortable and no one likes that.
DON’T be a like searchlight, moving your head from side to side and not making a connection with individuals.
DON’T roll your eyes if someone asks a question you consider silly.
DON’T look only at an attendee who asked a question.
Follow these Best Eye Contact Tips when speaking and I guarantee your next presentation we’ll be absolutely, positively NO SWEAT!
