    Tips for owning the room during a presentation:
    – Stand when you speak, it demands attention
    – high energy
    – eye contact (especially with the right people)
    – keep the bullet points concise
    – believe in your work, it's pretty hard to sell something that you can't get behind.

    Avoid the following words:
    – umm
    – like
    – "good question" (unless it really is a good question)
    – Fuck, shit, piss, cunt, god damn, mother fucker (unless appropriate)

    Being able to sell your work is part of being a designer. I'm surprised public speaking is not sewn into design courses more often. You'll get better with practice :)
