5 regular mistakes in public speaking
Author: Vince Stevenson
How to impress your colleagues and clients with a successful speech or presentation that will enhance promotional prospects or win new business.
Copyright © 2007 The College Of Public Speaking
1. The audience will listen because I'm a subject matter expert and what I have to say is interesting.
This is probably one of the most frequent mistakes made by speakers. We all like to think that we know our stuff, and many people do. But that alone will not engage your audience. Albert Mehrebian the US Educational Psychologist's research demonstrated that only 7% of your presentation's impact will be your words. Only 7%... This is worrying for subject matter experts. You could prepare for weeks, select the best words and key messages, you could have the best introduction, middle section and ending than any speaker on the bill, but your impact could be negligible.
A few year's ago I became a school governor and as such, I was offered training sessions by my local Education Authority. The general standard of the 2 hour presentations was good. One evening, the guest speaker, a man who had worked in education all his life with a career that spanned being a headmaster, Ofsted inspector and a senior role in the Ministry of Education and Science; what this fellow didn't know about the history of secondary education was not worth knowing. However, he ended every sentence with a pronounced hmmmmmmmmm. Imagine that 6 times per minute, for two hours.... I nearly lost the will to live.
Tip - Listen and react to feedback from your colleagues. I'm certain that over the course of this fellow's long and distinguished career, many people must have mentioned his verbal mannerisms. If your company culture prohibits you from giving constructive feedback, seek professional help. Advice from consultants is more likely to be accepted because it is seen to be given objectively.
2. Speaking too fast.
Nervous and inexperienced speakers always remind me of the 100 metres sprint. They hear the gun, they're out of the blocks fast and they can't wait to get it over with. This is not unusual - it is the normal reaction to any potentially stressful situation. Let's close our eyes, do it, and get it over with. It's a bit like going to the dentist. However, some speakers do not even devote themselves to such minimal preparation.
Tip - for each minute of your speech, spend ten minutes of preparation on it. Watch yourself on video and ask yourself if you're delivering too fast.
3 Keep it short and simple and always leave them wanting more. The best way to maintain the attention of an audience is to start with a gripping opening, develop a maximum of three themes or key messages, and conclude with a message that pulls the introduction and key messages together with impact. An experienced speaker can make this look simple and seamless, but we're looking at perhaps 0.001% of the population. We all need help developing this skill. If you speak for over 10 minutes it's almost inevitable that the structure will suffer and you will lose your audience because you haven't signposted your structure well enough. Tell them what you'll tell them, tell them, and tell them what you've told them.
Tip - keep it short and simple and use your best material at the beginning and the end of your speech. Start and end with impact.
4. Maintaining eye-contact with your audience. For the new or inexperienced speaker, eye-contact is one of the hardest aspects of speaking. Looking into the eyes of strangers does not come naturally to most of us. Indeed, in some cultures young people looking directly into the eyes of their elders is seen as a mark of disrespect. However, as a speaker, your audience is your primary concern. Remember that without audiences, we do not need speakers. Making eye-contact and engaging your audience is critical to success. It shows respect and demonstrates confidence. We listen and learn most from confident speakers. Life is a busy place, and when we invest time in a speaker, nobody likes to feel they have wasted their time.
Tip - if you find eye-contact difficult, try it out with friends and family in regular conversations. You will have a major impact on those with whom you are conversing. It' very difficult (almost rude) to disengage eye-contact with somebody when you're having a pleasant chat. Bear that in mind when you're making a speech and you'll do very well.
5. Speaking in a dull and monotonous voice. Throughout our professional careers, how many times have we endured the monotonous speaker?
In my case rather too often. Tonal variety is what adds massive impact to your speech or presentation. We need some highs and lows allied to seamless changes in pitch and pace. These effective techniques help to keep your audience engaged and participating in your presentation.
Mehrebian's research demonstrated that 38% of what an audience remember is down to the effective use of tonal variety. A massive 55% relates to your body language. If you send a mixed message, don't be surprised if the message is dropped. A key factor in any speech or presentation is simply this:
Tip - It's not what you say. It's the way that you say it.
Scenario 1: You're trying to find the channel with the live football. Suddenly, your wife sitting in the opposite armchair says, ‘Do you love me?' You continue flicking through the channels, you don't look back at her and you eventually say the words, ‘Of course, I love you.'
Scenario 2: You're trying to find the channel with the live football. Suddenly, your wife sitting in the opposite armchair says, ‘Do you love me?'
You stop flicking through the channels with the remote and put it down. You walk across the room and take your wife by the hand, gently and sincerely you look her in the eyes, caress her cheek and say, ‘Of course, I love you.'
Notice that the same words are used, but which do you think conveys the stronger message?

工作面试时最难的25个问题
简介:工作面试时最难的25个问题,很好的准备是成功的一半。如果你是一个对目前的职位不满意,正着手去在新的一年里找到一个新的职位,这篇文章就是你的 一个帮手。工作面试是你去面对未来的老板的征途中最重要的一个过程。你必须像进行一个击剑锦标赛或着一个国际象棋比赛那样的坚韧和敏捷来对待面试。
准备是成功的一半如果你是一个对目前的职位不满意,正着手去在新的一年里找到一个新的职位,这篇文章就是你的一个帮手。工作面试是你去面对未来的老板的征途中最重要的一个过程。你必须像进行一个击剑锦标赛或着一个国际象棋比赛那样的坚韧和敏捷来对待面试。
Morin是纽约的Drake Beam Morin公司的董事长,Cabrera是该公司的主席。该公司是国家主要的新职介绍公司,办公所在地在费城。
1.介绍你自己
这 个问题通常是一个面试的开始的第一个问题,要额外的小心不要滔滔不绝。尽可能的让你的回答在一分钟,最多2分钟的时间内结束。你的回答应该包含以下4个主 题:早期生活,教育背景,工作背景以及最近的工作经验。要着重强调最后的那个主题。要牢记这个问题通常是一个热身的问题,不要把你的最重要的观点浪费在这 个问题上。
2.你对我们公司有什么样的了解
你必须能够谈论关于这个公司的产 品,服务,收入,业界声望,形象,目标,存在的问题,管理风格,职工,历史和企业文化等问题。但是不要表现出你对这个公司的一切都了如指掌。让你的回答能 够体现出你对该公司做了一些研究,但是不要让面试官被你打败(overwhelm),并表现出你希望能够了解关于公司更多的情况。
你可以用这样的态度来开始回答问题:“在我的寻找工作的过程中,我调查研究了很多公司,出于如下的理由,贵公司是我感兴趣的公司之一:”。
用一个积极的态度来回答这个问题,不要这样说:“每个人都告诉我这个公司处于困境中,有各种样的麻烦,这就是我来这儿的原因”,即是那的确是你在这儿的理由。
3.为什么你希望来我们公司工作?
最糟糕的答案就是“因为我喜欢人”。要是你喜欢的是动物,那你去哪工作呢?
在 这个问题的回答上,并且贯穿整个面试的过程中,一个优秀的答案总是来自于你所作的调查研究,这样的话你可以从公司的需要那个方面来回答。你可能说你的研究 表明这个公司所做的工作正是你说希望参与的,并且他们做这个工作的方式极大的吸引了你。例如,如果这个公司由于强大的管理而著称,纳闷你的答案可以提到这 个事实,并表示你希望成为这个小组的一员。如果这个公司着重强调研发,那么就强调你希望创造你的事物,而你知道这个公司非常鼓励这样的行为。如果这个公司 强调经济控制,你的答案就应该包含对数字的热爱。
如果你觉得你必须捏造一个答案,例如如果这个公司强调研发,但是你觉得你必须提到这一点而实际上你对这根本不感兴趣,那么你可能根本不应该参加这个面试,因为你可能根本不会考虑在这个公司工作。
你的之前的准备必须包括对这个公司做详尽的了解,来避免到一个你无法发挥才干或者根本不想去的公司面试。大多数人都不擅长说谎,所以在面试中欺瞒面试官是一件很困难的事情。即使你成功的做到了这一点,你所获得的也只是一个你不想参加的工作
4.你可以为我们完成哪些其他人做不到的事情?
这 个问题上,你有权利或者是义务来自吹自擂。谈论一些你完成工作的记录,提到你简历中的独特之处,或者列出你职业生涯中的成就。告诉别人,你的技能和兴趣在 获取这些结果的过程中发挥了很大的作用,并使得你很有价值。提到你能够合理的安排工作优先顺序,找出问题,并利用你的经验和精力来解决问题。
5.你觉得这个职位最吸引你的地方是什么?最不吸引你的地方又是什么?
列出3到4个这个工作吸引人的方面,然后提出一个简单的不重要的不吸引人的问题。
6.为什么我们应该雇佣你?
参见问题4, 考虑你的能力,你的工作经历和你的干劲。
7.你希望在工作中能够获得什么?
让你的答案来源与这个公式提供的机会。谈论你希望能够大展身手并获取认可的要求。让你的答案基于工作机会而不是个人的要求
8.谈论一下你对你应聘的这个职位的定义
你的答案应该简短并且是基于工作要求的。考虑这个工作的责任和义务。在你回答问题之前确定你真正的了解这个职位所涉及的方方面面。如果你不确定,就去问面试官,他可能会帮你回答这个问题。
9.你需要多久能够对公司做出显著的贡献?
答案要实际一点。可以这样回答,尽管你希望从第一天开始就能够满足公司紧迫的要求,并开始发挥作用,但是你可能需要6个月到1年的时间来足够了解这个公司及其需要来做出很大的贡献。
10.你会在公司工作多久?
可以这样回答,你对在这个公司的职业生涯很感兴趣,可是也得承认你必须能够不断感觉到有挑战才能够继续在任何公司呆着。可以考虑这样的语句“只要我们双方都感觉有收获”。
11.你的简历显示你的能力超出了这个工作的要求,你是如何认为的?
强 调你对在这个公司开始一个长期的合作的兴趣,你可以说你认为如果你在这个职位上表现的很好,公司还会为你提供新的机会。也要提到一个好公司需要好的职员。 有检验的职员总会有很好的奖励;既然你是如此的很是这个职位,雇主将会很快从他的投资中获得回报。一个发展中的,充满活力的工资永远不会嫌天才多的。
12.你的管理方式是什么样的?
你 必须对这个公司的风格有足够的了解,这样才能让你的管理风格对其进行补充。可能的风格包括:基于任务的(我喜爱问题-研究那些是错误的,选择一个解决方案 并完成),基于结构的(我做出的任何一个管理的决定是基于它是如何影响问题的底线的),或者是家长式作风的(我致力与管理好我的每一个下属,并给他们指引 正确的方向)。
民主参与式的风格是目前比较流行的一种:一个开放的管理方式,通过激励手下并根据所负责的事情分派任务来完成每一件事情。
当你考虑这个问题的时候,要思考你的风格是否会让你在这个公司里高兴并有效率的工作。
13.你是一个合格的经理吗?你可以举一些例子吗?你是否觉得你有顶级管理人员的潜力?
保证你的答案是基于成果和任务的。通过你职业生涯中的一些例子来加固你的论点。强调你的经验和精力
14.当你招聘人手的时候你需要什么类型的?
考虑一些技能方面的问题。主动性,以及能够舒服和有效的与其他人一起工作的适应性。提到你希望雇佣一些看起来能够在公司中获得提升的人。
15.你是否曾经不得不解雇一些员工?是什么理由?你是如何解决这个情况的?
要承认这个情况不是容易解决的,但是你还是很好的解决了,不管是从公司角度还是从个人角度。让他们知道,和其他人一样,你不喜欢这种让人不乐意的工作,但是你可以有效的富有人情味的解决问题,尤其是在要解雇某个人的时候。
16.你认为作为一个经理或者高级行政人员最困难的事情是什么?
要提到指定计划,指定和成本控制。最困难的任务是要去激发并管理雇员来完成一些计划中的事情,并且按时的在预算范围内完成任务。
17.在我们这个行业中你觉得什么是最重要的趋势?
一样要准备两到三个趋势来阐明你对所在行业的是多么的了解。你可以需要考虑技术上的挑战或者机会,金融环境甚至管理的需求作为你所应该考虑收集的关于你的行业说面对的状况。
18.你为什么离开你现在的工作(上一个工作)?
在不伤害你自己的情况下要简明扼要并诚实的回答这个问题。回溯到你寻找工作的计划阶段,那时你正在把这个话题当作你的工作经历。如果你是在一次公司裁员中被裁掉的,直接说出来好了;否则的话,要指明这次离职是你自己的决定,你自己行动的结构,不要特到任何关于性格冲突等。
19.你觉得放弃原来所有的福利待遇等来寻找一个新的工作是什么感觉?
要提到你很自然的担心这一点,但是并不很恐慌。你愿意为寻找到合适的工作而冒一点风险。不要说,你对安全感比成功的完成工作更感兴趣。
20.在你上一份工作中,你最喜欢那个方面的特点?最不喜欢哪个?
要小心而计息的回答这个问题。要多说你喜欢的特性,而少说你不喜欢的。不要引用个人的问题。如果你使得你的上一份工作听起来很糟糕,面试官会疑问你为什么还能在上一份职位上一直待到现在。
21.你如何看待你的老板?
要尽可能积极的回答这个问题。你潜在的未来的老板很希望能够了解你未来在相似的场合会如何谈论他。
22.你在现在的年龄中为什么不能赚到更多?
要告诉他这是你寻找新的工作的理由之一,不要处于守势。
23.你希望这个职位的薪水是多少?
讨论薪水是一个很微妙的问题。我们建议你在条件允许的情况下尽可能的拖延用一个精确的数据来回答这个问题。你可以说,“我知道这个工作的薪水的大概范围是￥---到￥---。这个对于我来说是合适的价位。”你也可以用一个问题来回答这个问题:
“你可能在这个问题上可以帮助我。你能否告诉我在公司中对相似职位的工作的大概薪水是多少?”。
如 果你是在一个最初的面试中遇到这个问题,你可以说你觉得你需要更多的了解这个职位的职能才能够对这个问题有个有意思的回答。在这个问题上通过询问面试官或 者人事高级主管或者自己去寻找结果,你可以尝试去获得这份工作是由有一个工资等级。如果有,并且你能够接受,那么直接回答你满意这个薪水范围好了。
如果面试官继续纠缠这个问题的话,你可以说“我现在的薪水是￥--。和其他人一样,我希望能够提升这个数字,但是我主要的兴趣还是在工作本身。”要记住,获取一个新的工作这件事本身不会使得你能够赚到更多的钱。
如果一个猎头公司也参与了此事的话,你的联系人可能可以帮助你解决这个薪水的问题。他甚至可以帮你介入此事。例如,如果他告诉你这个职位的待遇,然后你告诉他你现在已经赚那么多的,并且希望待遇能够适当的提升,他可能会去雇主那然后提议给你增加10%的待遇。
如 果没有获得关于这个职位的合适的信息,而面试官还继续这个话题的话,你可以用一个具体的数字来回答这个问题。你不能给别人留下待遇完全没有影响你将会接受 任何待遇的印象。如果你年薪8W的话,你不可能没有变现出放弃自己的时候,说3.5W一年也是可以接受的。(如果你是在做工作的一个彻底的变化的话,这种 情况可能也是有道理,可以理解的)。
不要很快就把你自己卖掉:),但是要继续的强调这个工作本身才是你最看重的东西。面试官可能会去判断你希望从这个工作的待遇是多少哦。不要给面试官留下金钱对你来说是唯一重要的事情的感觉。把薪水的问题和工作本身挂钩。
但是无论合适可能的话,在你到面试过程的最后一个阶段之前,少谈论薪水的问题。到那个阶段的时候,你就应该知道,这个公司对你有很大的兴趣,这个时候在谈论薪水待遇的话就会有很大的余地了。
24.你长期的目标是什么?
回到你寻找工作的计划阶段。不要这样回答“我希望能够得到你广告中的工作”。把你的目标与你面试的公司关系起来,“在你们这样一个公司,我希望能够...”
25.你目前位置在工作中是多么的成功?
你要回答,总的来说你对你目前为止的职业生涯是很高兴很满意的。列举一些生活中普通的琐事,你觉得你完成的很好,没有怨言。
要想别人展现一个积极和自信的面貌,但是不要夸大其词。例如这样的回答“所有的事情都特别的好!我不能想象一个更好的事情了!我非常的开心。”,会使得面试官觉得你是不是在愚弄他或者你自己。最具有说服力的答案通常都是相当自信的。
