  Interaction - Making an Offer
  
  Interaction is effectively achieved through an "offer" where the audience knows who is invited to participate and who is selected. Scoping and Targeting gestures are used for this purpose."Scoping" defines those included in the offer (as in a question, for example)."Targeting" denotes a choice among those who accept the offer (such as those who raise a hand to participate).

  Avoiding Fillers
  
  "Fillers" are the sounds we make in-between the words we say, such as: um, er, okay, right, etc. This is the mind "thinking out loud" but the audience should not be hearing anything except silence (no sound) while you are thinking.

  Rest and Power Positions
  
  There are only two body positions: REST and POWER. Your shoulders are used to create these positions. The REST position (45-degree angle to room) is used most often. The POWER position (squared-off to back of room) is used to create greater impact.
