From the supplier: Managers can improve their public speaking skills by becoming aware of the truths behind some common myths on public speaking. One example is the myth that presentations should open with a joke. This practice should be avoided since jokes are often inappropriate during presentations. Another is the myth that hands should be placed in pockets while speaking to appear relaxed. This myth has been dispelled by studies which show that presentations are more effective when supporting gestures are used.
