When floating on a pond, ducks appear to have an aura of calmness and appear to glide across the surface of the water. What is not seen is the chaos and churn below the surface. It is when the duck drops its head below the water that the chaos is visible. What is also visible is the duck butt.
When in front of an audience, the speaker wants to appear calm, cool, and unflappable. It is when the speaker is unprepared or ill-equipped is when they audience sees speaker "duck butts," which leads to a less than stellar experience.

Speaking in front of an audience can be a frightening experience. What are people thinking? Do they like me? Am I saying the right thing? Do I look ok?
These are questions that even the most seasoned presenter or trainer have asked themselves when they are in front of an audience. The reason these questions arise is driven by not having the insights or access to the skills to overcome those doubt ridden questions.
