Developing Speaking Skills

Speaking is one of the most important skills to be developed and enhanced as means of effective communication. The ability to communicate effectively is important in relationships, education and work as it is a mechanism we use to establish and modify relationships.

While speaking, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more succ

essful. Use gestures with your hands and face while talking so that it must seem like your whole body is talking. Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the other person’s words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking about. While speaking pronounce the words correctly and clearly. This makes better impression to others. Slow your speech because if you talk fast, people will think that you are getting nervous. To be a good speaker try to be a good listener. Make sure you are using proper grammar. Have confidence while talking, it  doesn’t  matter what other people think. Don’t over praise yourself in front of your audience. Do not interrupt while the others are talking because it breaks the flow of conversation
