  As an introvert, I've usually found stage presentation alright. The flow is mainly one way (presenter to audience). That's unlike round table meetings, where constantly shifting attention amongst all the participants, without any established norm for taking turns.. is almost instantaneous (think gigantic waterfall for introverts) energy drain.

  My tip: For social events, where hanging out for selfies with others is the norm now, whereas more extroverted presenters charge up with selfies, then come to present on stage (think closing bottom line), I try spending energy first on presentation (think keynote).

  I largely agree that filler words "um", "like", "so" etc. should be eliminated in favor of something less meandering, like a pause.  I want to point out though that many people, especially engineers, that I interact with - when I DO pause, they take this as a cue that it's OK for them to being speaking and interrupt my thought.  So, I believe the (bad) habit is also gently reinforced by that phenomena.

  Channel 9 is very informative and intuitive

  @gorestreetguerty: I'm not really sure if anyone understands what you are asking. If you are referring to public speaking, take a deep breath, think about what you are going to say, and don't panic.

• 

  Very interesting presentation, thank you all for your input and tips.

• 

  Good stuff. Kasey, as a Tennessean I think you're the only one at Microsoft that speaks good English. ;)

  The two girls I really love from microsoft Kendra Havens and Kasey Uhlenhuth, the best of your presentations is that you always look so fresh, so natural and also so happy, you transmit an energy so your presentations are always very interesting it is not only the theme is the way you show it

  This is an amazing show. It felt very informal like a chat between friends yet has so much great information packed into it. Well worth the watch.
