Concord, CA – We Offer Coaching Services for Public Speaking | Business Coaching

Do you want to be an effective speaker?

The advent of digital technology and social media platforms has no doubt brought manifold advantages and benefits—particularly global communication.

It is also true, however, that in some respects, the art of communication has also been weakened by the advent and promulgation of these technologies. With people glued to their mobile screens and communicating through text and emoticons, verbal communication has taken a hit.

What this means for you as a budding entrepreneur is that one of the most important facets of a good business leader, the art of public speaking, is one you will have to work at.

Even though we live in the age of mass communication and companywide memos sent with the press of a button, public speaking still has a very important role for your business and your stature as a leader.

1. Presence

Technology has made faceless leadership even more far reaching and the disconnect between employees and the top echelon of superiors even wider.

The fact is that most leaders and managers will not need to call up the skill of public speaking to rouse employees in many modern multinationals. It is still a skill they should possess should the occasion arise.

As a budding entrepreneur you might need use of that skill more often. Good public speaking lends an aura and dignified presence which is a powerful psychological tool to win over your employees.

That directly results in a more willing and compliant workforce which means steady and smooth operations.

2. Communication

Effective, honest, and direct communication is one skill you will need to hone as a potential leader and business owner.

Public speaking is something which will directly help and complement your ability to communicate effectively and well whether it is with your employees, partners, or with third parties.

What is good communication about? It is about clarity of thought and ensuring the person in front of you grasps and receives what you are saying.

Similarly, public speaking is much more about ensuring your message and thoughts are transmitted effectively to the widest audience possible.

3. Connecting

A good and effective leader is someone who is as comfortable atop their employees as among them.

Effective leadership is about mingling among your employees and getting to know their thoughts and opinions instead of remaining in your ivory tower. Public speaking is about authentic human connection and bonding with your audience on some level.

Public speaking can help you in your role as a leader by honestly and genuinely connecting with your employees and thereby making more grounded and considered decisions which benefit all parties. It can establish authentic rapport and loyalty in your employees which is something to never take granted.
