Are you worried that  your presentation and communication skills  fall short of matching your knowledge and expertise?

Communication effectiveness is the cornerstone of success for every individual or any high-performing organization, and yet, many people are dealing with this issue. What is communication to you? How do you define it?

• Work on your first impression: Wear proper clothes and watch your body language. Practice your handshakes and greetings until you master them.
• Build rapport with the other person: Pay attention to what they do; mirror their body language and match their facial expressions, tonality, and key words.
• Sit alongside them: Whenever possible stand or sit alongside the person. This kind of position brings comfort and conveys a friendly message or support and togetherness.  
• Listen carefully: You need to listen first before you are listened to. This is key to mastering the art of communication.
• Provide genuine compliments: Research has proven that offering genuine compliments can significantly enhance people’s image about you. Doing that properly, people may even find you thinner, taller, and younger than you are.
• Maintain eye contact: By maintaining eye contact you can show the other person that you are interested in communicating. You do not have to stare at them all the time; instead, you need to maintain proper eye contact to keep that connection.
• Use open body gesture: By showing open gesture, you show the audience that you are open and flexible. This encourages them to talk more.
