Here's how you can enhance your public speaking skills to advance your career.

Enhancing public speaking considers a combination of different elements: 1. Knowledge about your topic, and your audience: Know what you're talking about, and to whom 2. Narration: The narrative you select to share your knowledge matters. 3. Communication skills: Intention and body language speak volumes. Watch the best speakers and the way they deliver their message. 4. Prepare and practice: Prepare yourself with the 3 elements above and do it.

Silvana tenía todo para proyectarse en su carrera pero se autoboicoteaba. Con el tiempo se dio cuenta que era porque con el ascenso iba a tener que hacer muchas exposiciones orales. Destrabó ese bloqueo en un taller presencial y grupal (como los de ww.oratoriaencordoba.com.ar). También es importante aprovechar las ocasiones para practicar, no procrastinar ni delegar los desafíos de comunicación, empezar de menor a mayor, preparar bien el tema, ejercitar y pedir feedback. Suma mucho comunicar lo que uno es y no pretender ponerse una careta. Al principio los resultados no serán los ideales pero siempre puedes tomarlos como oportunidades de aprendizaje e impulsos para continuar mejorando.

- Aproveite reuniões de equipe, apresentações e eventos sociais, para falar em público, ganhar confiança e melhorar suas habilidades. - Inscreva-se em cursos de oratória. - Solicite feedback de colegas, amigos ou mentores sobre suas apresentações para identificar áreas de melhoria. - Assista a palestras, TED ou vídeos de bons oradores para aprender com suas técnicas e estilos de comunicação. - Planeje suas apresentações com antecedência, criando um roteiro claro e ensaiando várias vezes para se sentir mais confiante. - Aprenda técnicas de relaxamento, como respiração profunda e visualização positiva, para controlar a ansiedade antes de falar em público. - Trabalhe na sua linguagem corporal, postura e contato visual.

Practice your answers aloud to ensure they sound as good in reality as they do in your head. Articulating your history, skills, and accomplishments can be different when spoken out loud. To improve, record yourself in front of a camera or engage in video mock presentations with a trusted friend or family member. This practice will help you become comfortable speaking into a camera or in front of an audience and provide an opportunity to receive constructive feedback on your answers. Additionally, record and review your practice sessions, focusing on improving your facial expressions, tone of voice, and speech pace. This self-assessment can significantly enhance your performance, refine your delivery, and increase your confidence.

Public speaking doesn't have to mean you talk 100% of the time. Engage the audience. Ask them to raise their hands. Get them to vote on their mobile. Tell a joke. People will remember experiences more, so engaging with them can create a phenomenal memory.

Shifting your mindset is essential to handling nerves during public speaking. Remember that public speaking is about the message and the value you bring to your audience, not about you or your appearance. The audience is there to learn from your insights, not to judge you. Focus on the content of your presentation and the positive impact it can have on your listeners. Visualize a successful presentation, where the audience is engaged and appreciative of your message.

Practice presenting with multiple people. When you present, ask those people to give tailored feedback on very specific things, such as: - talking speed - pronunciation - filler words (um, uh) - inflection - tone of voice - volume - storyline - timing

Over time you will see new audiences and experience new interactions. You will most likely see different audience sizes. Perhaps some will be virtual. This is all a good thing! You also have your own style of speaking. Maybe you prefer a set of notes to keep you on track, or have a general framework that allows you to get a little more creative. The idea is to marry the above together and see what works and doesn't with each new audience. Always remember you are there to present some really good stuff, but never forget to adapt to the audience. Your public speaking evolution will also support your day to day. As you hone your public speaking experiences, your interactions with your peers or clients will also benefit! Happy speaking!

Broaden your definition of Public Speaking! To some, an informal interview can be as nerve cracking as speaking to a wider audience. See anytime you are interacting with people outside your comfort zone as a way to push your public speaking envelop and learn about how to get more comfortable. Use your current playground (leading conf calls, talking on sales meetings, market updates etc) too!
