7 Steps to enhance your speaking skills and become an effective presenter
Makes You More Persuasive
Listening to others is a powerful tool for persuasion. The other person is more likely to be open to your views when you demonstrate that you are interested in what they have to say.
Enhances Credibility
Individuals who are listened to are trusted. Being a good listener makes you appear more reliable and credible.
Lessens Stress
You may experience stress if you are continually cutting someone off in conversation or thinking of your reply. You and the speaker can both feel less stressed when you listen well and are able to participate fully in the conversation.
Accept body language
To accentuate your points, keep your posture straight, look your audience in the eye, and use your hands naturally.
Talk succinctly and plainly
To keep your audience interested, change up the tempo and loudness. Steer clear of superlatives like um and like.
Tell tales
Anecdotes help your speech become more memorable and relatable. To demonstrate your ideas, use humour, personal experiences, or anecdotes.
Learn the art of taking a break
By pausing, you give your audience a chance to process what youve said and build anticipation for your next idea.
