Workshop gives precise, repeatable changes: use feet hip-distance and a piece of tape on stage to ground movement, match gestures to words, hold eye contact 3–5 seconds, and boost to volume 4 (project, don't shout). One hour of coaching turns a timid keynote into an engaged demo (Unity example). Manage nerves with breathing and “I got this” mantra, clean slides with 28pt bold sans‑serif headlines, and use the focus questions PDF to force a single clear main message.
