What Makes a Successful Communicator?
How do you become a confident public speaker? What is a 'good' presentation?
What do you make of the research in the graphic below? How can a mixture of body language and what you sound like make up 93% of the success of a presentation?
Many people giving speeches or presentations are convinced that the contents of what they plan to say are all-important. Sometimes hours are spent focusing on finding the right words but actually research shows that it is our body language and how we sound that communicate the most. For example, our posture, the way we use our eyes, the way we use our hands and arms, how we breath, the sound we make - it is all body language. People are often unaware of how much we communicate at a subliminal level through our bodies. Eyes that are unfocused, poor posture, hands and arms we can not control, running out of breath - all of these things communicate a message and feeling to our audience which can be entirely opposite to the one we want to give!
