Kevin good points you have
Eye contact, hand gestures, and tone all color the message choose the right word instead of saying make sure use please ensure, avoid BUT use however set the tone
Empathy and friendliness
Talk with confidence so the listener see that you strongly believe of what you say
Use positive word avoid negative word like saying DON'T DO THAT
Treat with respect
choose simple words avoid PH.D words you are not discussing your academic theses
Be selective of the right time and right place
Maintain control set ground rules who want to talk rise hand and wait for permission
Provide realistic reasonable example to back up your speech
Have full awareness of the topic and be prepared for weird questions / stay calm and control panic
Be open and encourage feedback
I like to hit post before I delete again I just remembered these for now
