Thrive Skills are an essential set of cognitive, social and behavioral skills to enable our learners to continuously succeed, at every stage of their career.
A confident speaker is one who has the power to move people with their words, body language and communication skills. Confident Public-Speaking is a must-have Thrive Skill for professionals who are in client-centric or customer-facing job roles. Speeches, presentations or meetings run by people who talk with confidence lead to better outcomes.
Building confidence in public-speaking adds value to a professional’s career, making them stand firm, confident and sure of themselves in front of a crowd. Public speaking can be daunting for many. However, it’s essential to talk with confidence as it can help build connections, empathize with an audience and do well in job interviews.
Examples of Confident Public-Speaking are delivering a client pitch followed by a successful Q&A, making a speech in front of a large audience and landing one’s dream job after a productive conversation with an interviewer. If a professional has the confidence while speaking, they can open doors to better opportunities.
To be a confident speaker, one can practice, practice and practice some more. Another way is to ask for feedback from trusted acquaintances like family, friends and colleagues. Improving communication skills, especially speaking and listening, will enable any individual to become confident at public speaking.
