• Watch your facial expressions and your body language. Once you’re aware of how you’re perceived by your friends and business associates, you can choose to change your expressions or the way you move your body.
• When you speak to a group of people, attend a social occasion or a business conference, take your time - speak slowly, loudly and clearly. Most people speak too fast, too quietly and not clearly enough. Open your mouth, get enough air into your lungs and when you speak, learn to control the way you let your breath out.
• Believe in what you say and only talk about a subject that you’re well-versed in. Speak with sincerity and people will listen to you.
• Networking is very big in the business world and maybe it’s time for you to take a serious look at your relationship with others. Joining a networking group is a very good way to practice and improve your general communication skills.
• Take up a sport, like swimming, tennis or jogging - anything that gets your heart racing. Singing is also excellent for expanding the chest and getting more oxygen flowing through your body. This will also help your speaking voice for presentation work.
• Free yourself from the stress of public speaking or any job that brings you stress, big time. If English isn’t your first language, then learn English, how to write it and how to speak it, so that you can become more confident when you communicate with others.
• Learn methods to relax. Listen to music to help open your heart.
• Television, video, film and movie watching are great, practical ways to increase your understanding. You probably won’t become a modern day Shakespeare, but you’ll achieve the result you want – to be more at home with both written and spoken language.
