Eye Contact Technique
Use strategic eye contact to build trust, maintain attention, and demonstrate confidence.
What it is
Before & after
“Staring intensely without breaks, avoiding all eye contact, constantly looking at notes or slides.”
“Natural eye contact during key points, brief breaks to glance at notes, scanning entire audience in small groups.”
When you’ll use it
One-on-one conversations: Maintain 50-70% eye contact, looking away briefly to process thoughts
Small group presentations: Hold eye contact 3-5 seconds per person before moving to the next
Large audience speaking: Focus on friendly faces in different sections, creating illusion of personal connection
Virtual meetings: Look directly at the camera, not the screen, when making key points
Pro tip
Three seconds per person, then move on. Look at the camera, not the screen, in virtual settings.
