Stand Still Or Move Around?
comment :
What looks best when you’re doing a presentation, walking around or standing still? Surprisingly the answer lies somewhere in betweeen. Fidgeting while standing indicates you’re nervous, while pacing does much the same. So when you decide to stand still, then plant yourself on the ground and stand still. If however you want to move, do so slowley and deliberately. This shows you’re in control, and looks best. A combination of both techniques will make you appear most relaxed.
