So how do you make a presentation if you're in high school or college? First thing to realize is you're on a level playing field, there are certain things that 50 or 60 year old executives or politicians can do or get away with that, perhaps you can't. But speaking isn't one of those things, the very same things a 50 6070 year old, who's a great Polish public speaker does, you can do to the things that get people in trouble at any age can get you in trouble too. If you're looking down and speaking with a flat tone of voice speaking too quickly. That's bad at any age. If you're fidgeting with your fingers and going back and forth from one leg to the next, it's gonna make you seem nervous and uncomfortable at any age.

It doesn't matter if you're 550 or 105. So part of it is you got to realize, doesn't matter if I'm in high school, middle school, college, or running for president of the United States. If I'm standing and speaking, I've got an opportunity to put a spotlight on one idea at a time to make it interesting and memorable for people or to bore them. It really all comes down to that. So you've got to somehow figure out what is it that you're talking about that's interesting to you. How can you make it interesting to your fellow classmates to your teacher?

How can you put a spotlight on what's truly important? Ideally, you can show why you have a particular passion for this subject. You do this and you will be as good as Speaker as anyone of any age.
