As a public speaker, what do you need to do for the audience to trust you more? Eye connection plays a very strong role and that surprises some people.  If you don’t get your eyes right you get comments like this when you ask an audience; “You look arrogant”, “You look like you don’t care”, “ You look bored” , “You look rude” and “You look really odd and shifty!”
I then ask: “Do I look less or more confident than I did just a minute ago before I stopped looking at you?”
The answer is always “less confident”
