ABSTRACT

The power of mental rehearsal is defined by the expression, “What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve.” Mental rehearsal is equivalent to a dress rehearsal in their mind. Experienced presenters know that they must be mindful of their body posture – even when presenting virtually. Plan several analogies, stories, and metaphors that are customized for the audience for each point. Show enthusiasm by smiling and by making and maintaining eye contact with the audience (which means looking into the camera during virtual meetings). Many people do not understand the difference between inherent and residual risk. Nervousness is part of the process of delivering a message. The goal isn’t to get rid of it; it’s to manage the natural body responses when the people need to deliver their message to others. .
