There's such a lot talked about body language for presenters, and quite frankly, most of it is rather superficial. Sure, if you're not doing it right it can be enough to think about where and how you stand and what you can do with your hands. What's more interesting I think, is how you can improve when you're fairly used to giving presentations and not doing much that's directly bad. This is where the fun starts!
Step 1 is what you have inside your head because your body is telling the whole world what you're thinking, your attitudes and feelings, and you may be the only one who isn't aware of this - scary isn't it :)
Reading Henrik Fexeus' book on mind reading is a good intro to this subject. "Konsten att Läsa Tankar". Reading about mirror neurones is another, for the scientifically inclined: see this book for example
All this tells us why your attitude is so important, why the speaker's own enthusiasm is their best tool for reaching the audience and indirectly why storytelling works so well.
