Wobbly knees, a shaky voice, butterflies in your stomach, sweaty palms…how many of these did you feel the last time you gave a presentation at work? On this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake Podcast, we’re giving you top tips on how to carry yourself with confidence when you present.
We begin by discussing the role of presentations in the food industry and what it’s like to give a presentation when there’s no tasty food samples in the room to provide a distraction. We then give you four great tips that will help you to prepare and present whilst staying grounded and delivering your message clearly. After that, you’ll hear us expand the conversation to how you can build your confidence levels, which will help you at work and also in your personal life.
