In small groups, take turns delivering short presentations to each other. Speak for between one and three minutes at a time. Talk about any topic that interests you: your favorite TV show, movie, sports team, performer, place to travel, or anything else. Don’t think about it too much; present as though you’re talking to a friend about something you like to watch or do.

When you’re finished, ask the group for feedback about your movement, gestures, and eye contact. Did they seem natural and appropriate? How do you move and use your hands naturally?

Deliver the presentation again and incorporate the feedback. Stay natural, but you might, for example, use a few more gestures or vary them. Ask for feedback the second time to see how you have improved—and whether you still came across naturally.
