Tips

 
     
     
     

 
Here's are some useful tips:

Body language communicates 55% of the message you send.
You can control it....

Tip: Use hands to gesture what you mean: how
many, how big, etc. Not to touch face, play with
hair, tap, gesture wildly, fold arms, fiddle.

Tip: Fiddling with a pen is a no-no at the
podium, in a meeting, in a job interview, on TV.
A pen in hand is distracting, potentially dangerous.

Tip: Gestures. On TV avoid all hand movement,
fidgets. Gestures can say more than words and
distract from what you are saying.

Tip: Good sitting posture everywhere: sit back, sit
tall, sit like you belong. Great for interviews and
before standing up to speak.

Tip: Look confident, feel confident everyday,
everywhere. Root yourself like a tree. Feet less
than a foot apart. Great image!

Tip: Facial expression - make it APPROPRIATE.
Your face should FIT your message. If it's
funny, upbeat: smile. If it's sad: don't smile.

Tip: Eye contact - one-to-one look into a person's
eyes, into their soul. People like it. Makes you
appear confident.

Tip: Use this 4C's eye contact tip with an audience:
Contact- Connect- Communicate- Continue on to
someone else. Look 'em right in the eyes!

Tip: To stop sounding stupid, get rid of fillers:
"You know" - "Uhhh" - "Like" etc. How?
PAUSE instead.
