Become a confident speaker at work
Read time: 2 minutes. How would you rate your communication skills at work today? According to Pumble, 73% of employers are looking for employees who have strong communication skills. The good news is communication is a learned skill.
Knowing what to say and how to say it can make a huge difference in how you carry yourself, especially during team meetings. In fact, the higher up you go, the more important speaking skills are. Communication becomes much more strategic because it's now about motivating and influencing. Those who do it well rise up fast.
Here are 3 communication tips to keep in mind this week:
- Mastering the ask - asking tricky or uncomfortable questions at work is inevitable. Learning how to confidently ask for what you want is how you can build visibility. We will be covering this in our Soulcast Media Membership next week [topic: asking powerful questions!]
- Using communications techniques - implementing fluid body language and tone of voice variety can boost your communications skills. It can also increase people's impression of you because it shows you're comfortable and competent.
- Never stop learning! - there is always room for improvement when it comes to communications. See below for extra resources.

Have you ever looked around to see colleagues, who seem to put in half the effort, get all the recognition and attention just because they talk a lot? Maybe something like this happened at work this week and you thought to yourself: These people have no idea what they’re talking about, but they go on and on as if they do!
