personal presence
and
public speaking skills
Every interaction is also a performance. Whether we like it or not, we give a presentation. Not only when we give a talk, but also when we interact with others.
Confident and self-assured performance can be learned with the help of psychological knowledge.
If we take a closer look at the topic, we see four competences that enable a successful performance and which can be trained.
Improving in these four areas means gaining an advantage in one's business as well as private life.
body language
Do we adopt a confident posture or is it already arrogant? What our hands say about our mood and what effects a smile can have. Psychology has so much to teach us about the appearance of our own body.
paraverbal communication
What impact does my voice have on the credibility of what I say? The power of pauses and accelerations in our sentences and what they do. How we use melody and tempo in our voice to get the attention of others more easily and how we use it to influence our own perceptions.
golden thread
Whether someone can remember what was said or not has a lot to do with structure. Does it have an expiration? Is it wrapped in a story? Does it evoke memories and emotions? A confident appearance only helps if what is said is also remembered.
self image
How do I become a competent speaker, how do I perform authentically? Much begins with self-image. Do I have the confidence? Am I competent at all? How am I perceived? Sharpening and developing your own self-image is an important step for your own performance.
