This PPT slide, part of the 57-slide Fundamentals of Effective Communication PowerPoint presentation, outlines fundamental principles for effective communication, emphasizing clarity in delivery. It is structured into 3 main sections: "How You Look," "How You Speak," and "What You Say." Each section provides actionable guidelines aimed at enhancing the speaker's effectiveness, regardless of audience size.
In the "How You Look" section, the focus is on the speaker's physical presence. Key points include maintaining eye contact with the audience rather than fixating on slides, adopting an open and balanced stance, and engaging directly with individuals rather than equipment. This approach fosters a more personal connection, encouraging active listening and engagement.
The "How You Speak" section stresses the importance of language and delivery style. It suggests using short, active sentences and conversational English to ensure clarity. Pausing between ideas allows the audience to absorb information, while speaking audibly ensures that the message is heard. This section highlights the need for speakers to be mindful of their tone and pace, which can significantly impact audience comprehension.
Finally, the "What You Say" section emphasizes the content of the message. It advises speakers to think critically before speaking, focusing on sharing insights rather than merely recounting efforts. The guidance to share the core message rather than overwhelming the audience with data is particularly relevant for C-level executives who must convey complex information succinctly.
Overall, this slide serves as a practical guide for enhancing communication skills, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their delivery in professional settings. The insights provided can lead to more impactful interactions and clearer messaging.
This slide is part of the Fundamentals of Effective Communication PowerPoint presentation.
