How To Be a Persuasive Speaker: Understand Your Unique Communication Style
Is your speaking style naturally formal or informal? Are you more effective using slides that are very visual and emotive, or that are factual (основаны на фактах) and data-driven (управляемые данными)? Or no slides at all?
To better understand your personal style, you’ll need to get honest and constructive feedback, that goes beyond (идет дальше) “great presentation!” Talk to people who know you well—coworkers, friends, family. Ask them when you are most persuasive (убедительны), and how they would describe the way you talk. Do you gesture a lot? Do you speak with your hands at your side? Do you smile a lot?
You can also find a community to give you the feedback you need through a presentation course or a public speaking support group. It’s amazing to see how much personal growth (личный рост) and self-awareness (самосознание) you’ll get!
