Tell them what is in it for them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Give Perspective<\/u>. Generally, the chosen topics are very broad-based. Providing a perspective narrows down the scope and also provides the framework for the talk.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Establish Credibility.<\/u> Give the audience a reason to believe your claim. Point out why your thoughts and your words are relevant and they matter.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Save the Best for Last.<\/u> Once you have the audience\u2019s attention, speak about what you need them to hear. To keep the interest alive keep providing glimpses of what is coming up.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Correlate Issues with the Audience<\/u>. Establish the repercussions of the issues being discussed. Focus your communication on the issues that the audience correlates with.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Provide Obvious Seeming Solutions<\/u>. Good communication provides solutions. Do not make them sound too complex, instead make them seem obvious. This gives the audience a sense of ownership and increases their interest.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crystal Gaze<\/u>. Always resort to some amount of crystal gazing and forecasting about things to come in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pic courtesy Net<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Body Language: Avoid These Blunders<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Our bodies have a language of their own.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Body language is a very powerful tool.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DONTs<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crossed Arms<\/u>.\u00a0Creates a physical barrier that suggests you\u2019re not open to what the other person is saying. The other person may get a sense that you\u2019re shutting him or her out.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Exaggerated Gestures<\/u>. <\/strong>Instead aim for small, controlled, and open gestures.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turning Yourself Away.<\/u> Conveys that you are unengaged, uninterested, uncomfortable, and perhaps even distrustful.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Slouching.<\/u>\u00a0It is a sign of disrespect.

It sends the message that you have better things to do than talk to the person you\u2019re with.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fidgeting and Exaggerated Nodding<\/u>.\u00a0It distracts and signals anxiousness.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scowling<\/u> or Unhappy Expression<\/u>. \u00a0This sends the message that you\u2019re upset by those around you, and it turns people away. Smiling, on the other hand, suggests that you\u2019re open, trustworthy, confident, and friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Weak Handshakes<\/u>.\u00a0A weak handshake signals a lack of confidence, while a too strong one could be perceived as an aggressive attempt at domination.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Getting Too Close<\/u>.\u00a0Standing too close makes people uncomfortable. Respect others\u2019 personal space.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bottom Line<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n Keep the Audience awake and interested.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learnt with Experience<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n People love catchy phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Suggestions and value additions are most welcome<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For regular updates, please register here<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
