- Body Language is as important as your script
How to embody an open, enthusiastic body language:
Firstly, smile and imagine you are speaking to your audience.
Secondly, use clear hand gestures illustrating your points. Tell your hands to follow what you say. Be aware this is a video, therefore keep them fairly close to you but feel free to move them. It is proven that when we move our hands, we think better. You will come across a lot more animated and present. DEMO
Finally, adopt an active posture. Do not slouch or rest too much on your chair. Keep your core engaged, and your energy will be sustained throughout the filming. DEMO - Active breathing regulates nerves
Take a deep breath before starting and remember to breathe throughout the video. Breathing also creates necessary pauses to help you and your audience, to stay focused.
To practice breathing, put your hands on your ribs and feel your diaphragm expanding. Doing five breaths using the diaphragm, activates the parasympathetic nervous system and calms us down.
- Frame the right attitude
Choose one attitude that works for you: To The Point / Clear / Excited / Calm / Bold / Enthusiastic / Friendly / but also Serious / Measured etc. Choosing one or two will help you focus during your video.
- Go the extra Mile to stand out
How do you do that? If you want to go the extra mile, video yourself saying the first few lines and watch yourself back.

Trying to make improvements isn’t as easy. In fact, fixing a problem can occasionally make things worse. But why? The root of the failure is often in missing how parts of a system are connected. In this video, Paul covers how impacts can vary, depending on the size of the system and why some projects made their problems worse - not better.
