Does your on-the-job public speaking not seem successful? It may be what you're saying with your eyes.

The eyes have it. There is a wonderful old Irish song that goes "When Irish eyes are smiling, all the world seems bright and gay." Take these words to heart because the world does seem bright and gay when you meet smiling eyes.

Your eyes show how you feel about yourself and have a direct bearing on how others feel about you. People are constantly interpreting what they read in other's eyes. How often have you heard the expression, "I could see it in her eyes?" or "Did you see those shifty eyes?"

People in power know how to use their eyes to maintain control. They master looks that convey authority, confidence, warmth or concern. They know better than to look down or look nervously around a room since that indicates disinterest or insecurity.

Direct eye contact should be maintained only about 70 to 75% of the time. By glancing away occasionally you avoid intense staring that makes people uncomfortable.

When speaking before a group, let your eyes sweep around the room to include everyone. Audiences want to feel that you are speaking directly to them. Avoid looking over their heads, at the ceiling, off to the side or concentrating your attention on only a few individuals.
