Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the audience but can also create boredom among corporate audiences that are often inundated with this background color.

The way you set up a presentation room will have a great impact on the audience’s perception of you and your message.

Rehearsing & Delivery • The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.
