Do you know what is the second most feared of the majority is?, after losing a family member or loved ones. Speaking in Public!!. This comes before being buried alive and getting killed as third and fourth. It is amazing how most of us is afraid of speaking in front of others. Many of us express how we cope with it just fine but in practice many of us just flown inarticulately. This is an important topic because nowadays we live in a world where everyone is short of time or attention. Do you want to be heard?

The 3 basic elements to face to face communication are, words, tone of voice and non-verbal behaviors. You’d be amazed that the meaning of a message is communicated by a large sum of your body language, a middle amount of your voice and the least in words. Personally, I used to emphasize so much on my vocabularies as I thought it was the main elements of having an interesting and intelligence conversation.

Here are some things to be considered if you want to be heard !!!

Energy Level

From what so ever reasons, you are not having your day and your boss is being mean plus your partner is being uncooperative with you. If you have an important meeting to get done, don’t let that ruin your energy!!. Always keep it higher than it is because that is what people psychically mostly aware. You have to be in control of your project and not perceived as inconsistent or erratic. As long as you keep this in mind that it’s essentials, you already raised up your own energy levels.

Vocally Adequate

Have you ever experienced a change of voice when you get nervous?. That is one thing which takes practice but here are things to be aware of with your voice that you can control.

Too quiet – If your listeners have to try extra hard to listen to you, at a certain point they will turn off

Monotone – If your voices become trapped in one or two tones, the danger is that your listener will start to get bored and switch to other interest like their phones or having a conversation with their neighbors.

Swallowing words – It is common things to swallow the last few words and also not pronounce the endings clearly. If the ending of your sentence is inaudible and the meaning is lost, your listener will also zone out.

Rushing – If you rush each sentence without any break in between. The listeners have no time to reflect on what you had to say which occur hard to keep up.

Body Language

Try to open up !. when you project the impression of feeling comfortable, the hormones in your body changes. It sends less cortisol (stress hormones) and more testosterone through your body. You’re your look and sound comfortable, listeners will also feel that way.

Additional to that, Eye contact is also something important. Think as yourself a gardener with water in your hands. There’re a bunch of plants to be given focused to. That is how you want to treat your audiences. Make them bloom from your attention. And of course, at times look away and think of your next point and pause then come back, just be natural about it.

A smile can brighten up the whole room!. When you start smiling, it is not difficult to get a smile back. This is not said for you to smile like a psychopath the whole time you are speaking but people love to engage in emotional reactions and smile does cause positive ones.
