Giving presentations

I think that I do very well at giving presentations. However, there are definitely some downfalls that I have when doing them. First of all, I don't enunciate my words nearly enough. In order for people to enjoy what you are presenting, they must understand what you are saying. I also blank sometimes when I present. I loose track of what I am saying and I do not make any sense unless I can get back on track. When that happens, it's just a whole bunch of mumble jumble that comes out of my mouth. One other thing that comes into play is that my accent can really be a hindrance. Being that I am a Southern boy, my twang in my accent makes it hard for people to understand what I am saying sometimes. I think that when I'm under stress, my twang comes out the most, regardless of what the situation is. To be honest, I really do not know why this is. Maybe it happens because I feel that I really need to express myself in order to get my point made. Maybe it's an inborn trait that I received from my Savannah, GA-born mother. Who knows?! Regardless of what the flaws are, presentations are just a part of life that we can constantly improve on to make ourselves look better to others.
