Act & Reflect by Dora Alicia Hernández Recinos

1. What does the posture of individuals you do not know lead you to conclude about them?

I feel that the posture of people when they are giving a presentation should transmit confidence, because from the posture that the speaker shows in his presentation, he will transmit me that he is a confident, strong and agile person and that he is comfortable and relaxed when he maintains a good posture.

2. What have you learned about the importance of posture from your observation?

From my observation I can notice that the presenter's posture must be effective for me to be influenced by the message he is giving to his audience, because if I notice him walking in an unknown direction, or showing confusion in his words, I will notice that his message does not give me credibility also that you should show a firm and upright posture, because this contributes to your presentation, and as an observer you can conclude that the speaker is a very reliable person.

3. What information about people do you receive from facial expressions?

through the facial expressions of the people I can observe how they feel, if they like the presentation they are making, their expressions will be of joy, because their gestures and postures will show that they are enjoying it, on the other hand if we can observe the gestures of someone who is not enjoying what they are doing, what we are going to notice is that they are uncomfortable, their gestures will be of dissatisfaction.

4. What have you learned from faces that will be helpful for you in your presentations?

It will be useful for me to show sincerity in my face, and every time I change the subject of my message, I must show a subtle rostrum, and my emotions so that my listeners will be able to sing the information I am giving them, and it will also be useful for me to gain their trust.

5. Are there situations in which you find it difficult to make eye contact with others?

ah691437 — 2024-09-02 02:04:08 UTC

in my case I find it a bit difficult to establish eye contact with people when I am giving a presentation, because I am a shy person, so when I try to make eye contact, I get nervous because I feel that people will judge me, or that my message seems boring to them, this distracts me and destabilizes my posture and I feel that I didn't manage to give a good message.

6. Based on the text, what can you do to overcome this situation?

ah691437 — 2024-09-02 02:16:19 UTC

Depending on whether the venue where I am giving my presentation is large, I should look for and pick out the friendly faces in my audience and concentrate on them and this eye contact will be observed by the rest of the audience and will spread to the majority.

7. According to the text, how do your physical attributes serve you advantageously in creating a memorable presentation?

ah691437 — 2024-09-02 02:30:38 UTC

According to the place where we give a presentation or the specific topic we should dress the same way. Also looking good, looking clean, having a nice smile and a positive attitude will make us look attractive and this will help us to give a memorable presentation.

8. Assess the way you use your voice in a speech. (check page 106. Part 4.5)

I need to improve my fluency when I speak in a presentation because I feel that due to my nerves I am not able to transmit that fluency to the audience, I also feel that I speak too softly and this affects my audience not to hear the message well.
