10 maneras de mostrarte más profesional

10 ways to present yourself more professionally | TechRepublic
"… 1: Dress the part
… when you raise the bar of importance, you must match it with your personal appearance. And this doesn’t stop at your neck. Not only should you be wearing your best suit, you should make sure you are properly groomed.… And do NOT forget antiperspirant.
2: Warm up
Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to stretch your muscles to get them warm and used to moving.
3: Fuel yourself
… And fuel is not just about quieting an other-wise noisy digestive system. You also need plenty of fuel to get you through the process. If you don’t take in enough calories, your body will let you know — which will not go unnoticed.

8: Be prepared
Do not depend upon your host for anything (outside of the projector). Bring any possible connector you will need … making sure you have enough literature for your audience. …
9: Know your audience
… If you’re giving a network presentation to a group of UNIX or Linux administrators, don’t speak in Windows terms. If you’re in front of a group of Windows administrators, don’t insult them by bragging about how strong your UNIX kung fu is.
10: Don’t be a comic
A little humor will go a long way to help connect to your audience. But don’t use the event as a vehicle for your standup routine. … Sure, break the ice with a funny anecdote or relax the situation when too much information is offered at once. …"
