Fear Speaking in Public? - The Best Way to Kill It
Presentations/Public Speaking, Training No Comments »A lot of individuals have fear speaking in public. They would rather die than caught them standing in front of a large crowd and delivering their speech. Well, this fact is already not unusual. According to statistics 90% of the population suffers such disorder. This trend is totally stressful since public speaking is important nowadays. It provides you an edge over the rest as well as save you from the stiff competition of employment.
Public speaking can really be a tough job, if not a cause of embarrassment, not only happening to regular individuals, but even to top scholars, doctors, businessmen and a lot more. They may have inhibitions in looking at their audience, normally go with excessive palm sweating, stuttering and the tip-of-the-tongue experience.
In Business Communications, Sharpen Your Writing Skills and Presentation Skills by Being Concise
Performance Management, Presentations/Public Speaking, Training No Comments »“Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary.” John F. Kennedy
I like what JFK had to say for a couple reasons. First, if you can’t stand up and say it in 15 or 20 minutes, then keep your rear end planted in the chair. When it comes to business communication skills, ponderous length doesn’t impress; it alienates. We’re all busy, and we all have limited attention spans. FOCUS your message and never forget: Brevity is clarity.
In business communication, the same rule applies whether you’re trying to sharpen your presentation skills or writing skills. Keep your audience or readers uppermost in your mind — stifling the urge to pontificate — and they’ll be there with you. The last thing you want them to do is examine the insides of their eyelids when you’re halfway through your speech.
Now more than ever, your training department must become an everyday part of the overall organization. Your training area may have been reactive in the past, designing and delivering training only when it was necessary or requested. This mindset is no longer applicable, especially in today’s economic turmoil.
As the leader of a training organization, you must transform training from a “sometimes” event into an integral, cultural part of the overall organization. It’s time for “no excuses training”, and there are several ways to make the transformation.
