Making Presentations: Pace Yourself
Do you get nervous when Prosper presentations? Don't worry, you aren't the only one. In fact you are part of the majority.
A common sign of nervousness is when a speaker goes too fast. Generally, it is because they just want to get it over with. As to be expected, your audience will have a difficult time understanding you when you speak so fast.
It isn't so common for a presenter to speak slowly, but it has been known to happen.
Know how much time you have to speak and practice your presentation while timing yourself. When it comes time for the actual presentation, you must clock in at around the same time. If you're off, you'll know by how much and can adjust better for next time.
