Confident body language do's and don'ts

Public Speaking Practice 6th July 2026
Here’s the framework we used - Rule of Threes.
-
Structure Your Ideas: Organise your talks and presentations into three main pillars, such as Problem, Solution, and Call to Action.
-
Boost Retention: People rarely remember long lists. Limiting your core message to three takeaways or examples ensures your audience is able to remember your message.
-
Don’t be constrained by the framework: If you can’t think of a third point or need to make a fourth or fifth one, that’s fine. As with all public speaking techniques, use them if they work for you.
