  2. Today´s session will be about... • ... Talking • ... Arguing • ... Fighting with nervousness • ... Confronting the opposite opinion • ... Trying and practising... • ... Because it is necessary and this is a safe environment to try it out and have fun. 2

  3. Three levels of communication Words Way of speaking Body language (7%) (38%) (55%) • Intensity Eye contact • Tone Facial expression • Voice pitch Gestures, touches • Rhythm and speed Posture • Movement • Distance Image 3

  4. Verbal communication – you should not forget... • AIM – make it clear in the beginning of the speech • ORDER – put your ideas into order, the audience will understand more easily and the order will lead you • STYLE – control the length of your sentences. Use short ones. Eliminate useless information. • WORDS –avoid using clichés and useless words – of course, in fact, generally... • TONE – control the melody, rhythm and tone of your speech 4

  5. Tips for the „verbal suicide“ • TOO CATEGORICAL - sentences of the type „that means...“, „the interpretations of this fact is only...“ – too strict • PHRASE OF BANKRUPTCY – sentences like „I don’t have much to offer...“, „what I am talking about is not very important or new...“, „most of this information is not exactly for you...“ • BUFFER WORDS –constructions used to avoid confrontation – „that could mean...“, „it could be commented as...“ (not personal ideas) • APOLOGY WORDS – maybe, I dare say, likely... 5

  6. Defects in „paraverbal“ communication • monotonous – reduces attention • speaking too fast –difficult to understand • loud breathing – acts as you are nervous • high-pitched voice – difficult to listen to • weak voice – makes listening strenuous, thus making the audience tired • bad articulation – makes understanding difficult and takes attention away from the content • padding words– repetition of words like „ehm“, „like“, „that“, „of course“, „in fact“ is disturbing and gives the impression that the speaker lacks experience 6

  7. What people dislike about your non-verbal communication • - too much casualness, insincerity, tapping the fingers or legs, swaying • - excessive hand gesture • - touching your face • - too much attention to your image • - fixing your appearance while talking 7

  8. Conscious presentation - While standing, stay still. Burden both your legs equally. Do not straddle. Youmight look aggressive. • Do not change your position too often. It may suggest impatience, uncertainty and nervousness. • Crossed arms look dismissive. • While sitting on the chair, use just a half of the seat. Do not put your legs under the chair and do not wrap them around the chair´s legs. Put your feet on the ground. • While talking to someone, look into your partner´s eyes. If you talk to more people, look into the eyes of most of them. Do not forget aboutpeople sitting individually. • If you want to end the discussion, avert your eyes away from your partner immediately after your answer. • Attention! Do not let these suggestions distract you. Do not panic if you find yourself doing something „forbidden“. Sudden and strange changes in the posture can make your words and the whole speech sound doubtful. 8

  9. Conscious presentation • Begin to speak only after assuming the desired position, once you have become calm and concentrated enough • Move in line with the speech • Make people part of your presentation, move towards them, if possible • Smile  9

  10. ANALYSIS AFTER PRESENTATION • Was I prepared enough? (amount of information, ability to answer the questions, the content understandable for the audience and their expectations) • Did I say everything I wanted? (Was I clear?) • Did I lose the logical thread? (Was I logical? Were my sentences understandable?) • Did I slip my tongue? (How many times?, When?) • How long did I talk? (Did I keep the time limit?) • Did I keep the audience’s interest? • Did anyone give you a dismissive look? (When?, Why?) • Did people laugh? (How many times?, Did I laugh as well?) • Did I keep in touch with the audience? (eye contact, breaks, questions, ice breaking...) 10
