I would like to share my professor from undergrad
effective communication style. As my cohort began, we all attending an
orientation and one of the professor’s who spoke at the orientation did such a
great job. She encompassed vibrant, positive energy. She introduced herself
with a little bit of background information, then she asked everyone to do the
same. I thought this was a great icebreaker, the orientation went well because
she was an honest speaker for one; she explained how intense the program would
be and to just embrace it and set priorities and schedules. I most certainly appreciated
her honesty, because it gave me a true interpretation of what the program would
be like. I would like to model her free spirit, and honesty within my own
communication behaviors, because in order to capture an audience I believe you
need a personality and being honest and truthful we keep that audience!
Enthusiastic speakers are so exciting to find. It is great that you had this experience you will always be able to refer to. I was never great at speaking in public. My face would get bright red and I would start to talk extremely fast. After twenty years of experience in the classroom and with my own children I am able to speak to groups of ECE teachers with confidence. I believe it is due to the fact that I can relate information to practical experiences at home and in the classroom. You have to believe in what you are saying and have a passion for it. I had the same easy experience when I was a Pampered Chef consultant. It was easy to do demonstrations and sell kitchen tools that I use in my own kitchen. I am hoping this class with continue to develop these kind of professional speaking skills.
