Description
You work in a medium-sized logistics company. You have been asked to give a speech in honor of the sales director who is retiring. Several people are due to speak before you do: it is an opportunity to pay tribute to your colleague and leave a lasting impression of this moment on all of the company's staff.

You practice alone with a camera.
You try out your speech on your family, friends, or colleagues.
You keep the text tucked away in your pocket -- nothing beats spontaneity.

Sitting down, legs and hands crossed, head slightly forward so that you can see your audience and your notes as well.

Standing up, leaning on one leg with the knee locked so that you appear relaxed and stable.
Standing up, well-grounded, head straight, and knees soft so that you remain flexible.
