Great Presenting

In Seth Godin's March 5th blog entry, he discusses the two essential elements needed to be a great presenter: Respect from the audience and Love to the audience.  The audience needs to believe that you are there to give them your all and your love comes in the form of wanting to motivate and inspire them.  If the audience doesn't respect you, you must find a way in the beginning to gain that respect.  This could include how you are introduced to what you are wearing.  You must have confidence and realize its not about you, its about what you are presenting and ultimately, the audience.
