Body language

Body language

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Body language is the non-verbal information communicated through physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, eye contact, and movement. In presentations and public speaking, body language plays a critical role in how the speaker's confidence, credibility, and emotional state are perceived. Open posture, deliberate gestures, and sustained eye contact signal confidence and engagement, while crossed arms, fidgeting, and avoiding eye contact can suggest nervousness or disinterest. Presenters who master their body language are generally more persuasive and trustworthy.

LIZ AI frees presenters to focus on delivery. When slide preparation is handled automatically — data updated, brand checked, deck ready — speakers can invest their full attention in how they communicate, not what's on the screen.

Chain of Thought

Chain of thought is an AI reasoning technique in which a model explicitly works through intermediate steps before arriving at a final answer. By laying out its reasoning step by step, the model produces more accurate and reliable outputs — especially for complex, multi-part problems. In agentic AI systems, chain-of-thought reasoning is used to plan workflows and make decisions at each stage of an agent loop. For enterprise applications, it increases transparency and makes AI behavior easier to audit.

A virtual event is an event that takes place entirely online, with all participants joining remotely via digital platforms. Virtual events range from webinars and online conferences to virtual trade shows, networking events, and team celebrations. They eliminate geographic and logistical barriers, allowing global participation at low cost. Successful virtual events invest in interactivity — live polls, Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and networking features — to compensate for the lack of physical presence.

Personal Response System (PRS)

A personal response system (PRS) — also called an audience response system or clicker system — allows individual participants to respond to questions or vote in polls during a presentation or class.
