When we stand in front of an audience to give a speech, not always, but many times we are actually standing behind a lectern. 

We all know what these look like; however, has anyone ever told you how to go about using one?  No, there are no buttons to press or levers to flip. 

However, it turns  out that a lectern can help you to give a more powerful speech – if you  know how to use it correctly.
