Effective communication skills that will eliminate your stage fright!!

 

Body Language

Don’t be shy and try to avoid the audience in which you are speaking with, relax and this will ensure smooth sailing. Enhance your body language by doing the following:

 

·       Make eye contact

·       Nodding occasionally to acknowledge a strong point in the conversation.

·       Standing with hands clasped in front of you, never crossing your arms.

·       Not displaying nervous ticks such as wringing hands, or picking at your nails

 

 

Speech And Attentiveness

·       Have a clear and concise voice.

·       Address important information and avoid wasting time by having long stories.

·       Do not expect someone to know what you’re talking about; make sure you ask if they understand.

·       Always keep mental notes of what the audience has to say, this way you can respond to their concerns.

 

Communication

·       Great communicators practice consistent communication

·       Do not be afraid to voice your opinion, but ensure that it is open and honest

·       Address small problems by communicating to ensure they don’t turn into large issues.

Patience

·       Always give time for the other person to talk

·       Stay attentive to what they are saying to demonstrate interest

·       When unsure of a statement, repeat it back to the individual in order to get a in depth full understanding of what he or she was implying
