SPEAKING WITH CONFIDENCE FOR PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS
“A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something and once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled. ...”
Speaking with Confidence will equip participants with practical techniques to structure, prepare and phrase one’s text, use one’s voice correctly, and identify common speech faults (pronunciation) to enhance one’s presentation skills and speak with greater confidence.
The ability to use clear and concise communication is essential when it comes to speaking with confidence. Participants will learn to avoid using filler words like “um,” “uh,” or “like,” as they can detract from your message and make you appear less confident. Participants will instead practice speaking slowly, enunciating each word, and pausing for effect when needed.
Confidence matters because it affects how one communicates with others and how others perceive us.
When we are confident, we are more likely to express our thoughts and ideas clearly and persuasively. We are also more likely to listen actively and respectfully to others' opinions and perspectives.
Effective communication is critically important for career advancement.
