Why
communication
skills are
important
”Effective speaking is more than saying a
few words to an audience: It is the
revealing expression of a human
personality”
3. By Ole Børseth3
What are good communication skills?
”If you are unable to say clearly what you mean,
through either nervousness, timidity or foggy
thought-processes, your personality is blocked off,
dimmed out and misunderstood.

Notes de l'éditeur
Story about talking and choking.
I’m Ole Borseth, and I am going to tell you how to enjoy success in your personal, social and professional life.
If we take a look around us in the world we live in, we come to see that communication is all around us, and the ones who enjoys success in their professional and personal life are good at communicating.
Words have changed the world before, and will do it again.
Examples: Gandhi, Hitler, Obama. Even Trump.
Ask the audience.
For me:
Looking and sounding confident
Being able to inform and engage an audience at the same time.
More self assured when walking up to someone
By knowing how to dispose your words, you will be able to persuade and convince.
People see confidence as a strength, and more people will want you in their network.
Success is relative.

1. You are not unique in your fear of public speaking
2. A certain amount of stage fright is useful
3. Many professional speakers do not completely get rid of their stage fright
4. The main cause of fear of public speaking, is because you are not used to it.
• Communicating with confidence means having the ability to manage our body language and don’t give away tells that we are nervous.
Tells of being uncomfortable:
speaking quickly
fidgeting
touching or glasses or hair.
Or we use throw away words like "you know" or "like.» and swallowing.
• Take pressure of yourself. You are not important.
• You do not need to be a perfect speaker.
Making fake confidence real
• Shaking hands solution: Big hand gestures
Write the word breathe on every page of your presentation.
Breathe when you are listening.
Helps relaxing and thinking more clearly.
Breathe out, belly in – Breathe in, belly out.
Wonder Woman got it figured out.
What does this achieve?
Use index cards, or cue cards to organize thoughts.
With each card only containing one thought, its easy to remove and place somewhere else.
Start by defining the purpose of the presentation.
Main Ideas are the three or four principle points I want to communicate to my audience
Strong content is critical
Don’t use conjunctions to link your thoughts. And, but which, rather, however etc. Make point and put a period in there.
Identify your desired outcome
Do you want to: Persuade people?Are you introducing a new idea?
What is it you need to consider the conversation or presentation a success?
What words best speak for how I want to be seen?
Avoid getting unfavourable attention
Do not open with an apology
Avoid the funny store opening
Support your main ideas
Use statistics
Use the testimony of experts
Use analogies
Begin with your talk with an incident, arouse suspense for the audience, state an arresting fact, use an exhibit, ask for a show of hands or promise to tell the audience how they can get something they want.
Stay connected to yourself. Do not start hurling words. One-way communication is a trap.
Stay connected with the audience with two-way communication. One thought – one time.
Gives the right facial expression, the right vocal inflection.
Pay attention to how people recieve information.
You have to know your topic, and your presentation.
Use simple words
Use short sentences
One thought, one time, one short sentence.
leave your audience with the one thought you need them to remember going forward.
Call to action:
Tell your audience what you want them to do or what you need from them as a result of your information
Examples: PLease get back to me in one week with your reaction. Or: I want your business.
Women use on average 20.000 words a day, men on average 7.000 a day
How many of those words served a purpose?
Choose your words carefully
Express words meaningfully by making every sentence sound different
Mechanical approach: Emphazise words
Enunciate every word
Excercise designed to limber up the lips: Hold a pen between your teeth and gently clamp down. Start reading with the pen between your lips and enunciate each word for a minute.
Choosing our words carefully, expressing them meaningfully, and enunciating them clearly is how we make our words count.
Avoid uptalk. Uptalk is when we end sentences on up-inflections. Makes us sound uncertain
Avoid hedging: Using qualifying phrases like "sort of", "kind of," or "it seems like"
Be mindful about how often we say "I think" and "I believe"
"I think it is important to be a confident communicatior" or "Its important to be a confident communicator"
Play with your voice. Take people on a ride with your voice.
Standing while you speak adds energy in your voice
Change your tone and/or speak more loudly or more softly to stress important points.
When you are asking something to do something, a softer voice works best.
Experiment with voice in everyday conversation
Use your voice to the fullest: Change pace, volume and inflection
Slowing down
Stretch vowel sounds in each word. Allows you to linger longer, and connect to its meaning and impact
Focus on what you say, as you are saying it.
Be comfortable with silence.
Slowing down exercice. If you say uh or uhm the audience claps.
Be sure to breathe in the pause.
Stop talking to create attention. Pauses are powerful.
Pausing lets a speaker connect with the audience in a more meaningful way
What happens when we speak quickly is that we're not giving people ample time to hear, listen, think, process, assimilate, and store what we say.
Pausing shows we are confident
Pause:
Before and after each sentence
After something important
After a rhetorical question
After a request or call to action
Write "pause" on each index card, to remind yourself
"The eyes are the window to the soul“
You can tell a lot about a person from looking at his eyes
Racing brain syndrome
Darting eyes makes us look lacking in confidence
Deliver one thought, one time, one face.
It helps us act more calm
Be mindful not to stay on the same face
Funny exercise you can do in everyday conversation
What should you do with your hands when speaking?
Example
Talking with hands is natural for us and makes us look more interesting
The hands are connected to our voice. Using our hands makes us sound more interesting.
Talking with your hands in a clear manner, make you seem like a leader. Example
Rids us with anxiety
If using your hands is new to you, you will feel awkward.
Get some distance between your ribcage and elbows
Keep them out, even when not talking.
Rolling movement to convey progression. Side to side to compare topics.
When you want to convey a warmer side: Palms up.
Be careful not to use to much hand movement
When it makes no sense
When it is repetetive
When it doesnt match your message
You do not need to use hands for every word. Just keep in mind your energy levels when dropping them down.
To look like you mean what you are talking about. Your facial expressions has to match your voice.
Visualize what you talk about, while talking about it.
When the facial expression doesnt match the words, you send out mixed messages. Example.
Our eyes lead the way. We want to convey confidence, conviction and a connection.
Looking up conveys uncertainty and undermines our belieavebility.
We do this because we think visually. Can we instead start looking down?
Looking down makes us look thoughtful.
