Text

When carrying out a presentation, two objectives must be pursued: conveying information and avoiding yawns. To achieve this, it may be a good practice to create an outline and use words that will be seared into the brains of your audience. If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral presentation. We recommend that you train your voice and rehearse: the best improvisation is always the most prepared!

Why does music makes us feel good?

  • Realises dopamine;
  • Chills/ goosebumps;
  • Reduce pain and stress;
