and “boredom is contagious.”20 What does this mean
for you as a presenter? How can you avoid being a boring speaker?

Dianna Booher, is that as a speaker its a tool to keep the audience
attention if you have enthusiasm in your speech and or even presentation.

you're having someone with enthusiasm it grabs the audience and makes
them interactive and attention seeker.
