So you want to become an executive, take your career to the next
level.
If you, if that is your goal, then you'll realize the importance of
public speaking.
And if you're someone who realizes that you wanna be serious about
upleveling your skills of public speaking, then in this video, I'm
gonna share with you what are the three key skills when it comes to
public speaking.
Because if you think about it, public speaking is a pretty large
umbrella, but underneath the umbrella of public speaking, there are
sub skills that when you learn to master these three sub skills,
you'll be well on your way to becoming an advanced public speaker, an
executive who could communicate your ideas.
So this is a video for you and at the end of it, after these three
sessions, right, are three points that I'm gonna share with you master
each of these skills, choose, start with one of them and then work
your way to these three public speaking skills.
And you'll be on your way to advance your career.
Public speaking skill number one.
And by the way, each of these three that I'm about to share with you
they all start with the letter A, so the three A's of public speaking.
A number one is active listening.
This one is super important.
It's actually quite fundamental cuz oftentimes when we think we're
listening, we're actually not actually listening or the, the flip side
of it, when we think somebody else is listening doesn't mean that they
have heard.
So what do I mean by active listening?
What I mean by that is understanding the meaning behind what somebody
else is saying because let's face it, oftentimes, when someone is
trying to articulate what idea they're trying to say, or they're
trying to articulate a point, an argument that is really important to
them, they're communicating it from their lens and you're also hearing
it from your lens.
So active listening is be able, being able to understand what is the
meaning behind what they're saying, which may not necessarily be the
actual words that are spoken.
So this is actually skill because when you think about it, anybody
that you speak with, they're gonna come with a different communication
style than you.
They might even come from a different cultural background from you.
And as a result of both of these differences, there's a lot of nuances
around the words people choose to say and how they choose to say it,
even the demeanor in which they say it.
So active listening is being a, being able to break through all of
those things so that you understand the meaning behind.
Oftentimes and this is definitely the case in certain cultures around
the world, that what the meaning that they want to say is not actually
matched with the words that they say, right?
So that is the first public speaking skill that is active listening
because the biggest mistake when it comes to miscommunications and
misunderstandings is the fact that most people believe that they have
heard when in fact they didn't really hear, or they assume that the
other person has listened when they didn't actually understand.
So that is number one is active listening skills.
The second letter A is advanced composition, right?
This is around your ability to compose your content.
And when it comes to composing content, it's important whether or not
you are speaking impromptu, that is on the spot, or whether or not you
have time to prepare a presentation.
Either way on the spot or prepara or presentation, either way, you
gotta have your content and your content is the stuff that you say,
anything that you say that people are listening to, that's what
they're judging you on is your content.
And when I'm talking about advanced composition, I'm not just talking
about making sure that your content is coherent, that it's rational
and that it all comes together in an intellectual understanding.
I'm not just talking about that because if you look at it, you wanna
become an executive in your industry.
Being able to produce content that is rational and coherent, that is
the bare minimum it's expected of you already.
So that is given.
So that's not what I'm referring to here when I talk about advanced
composition, what I'm referring to here is your ability to be able to
create content that is insightful, that is impactful, and that is
inspirational.
Those are three components.
The reason why being insightful is important is because when your
content is insightful, that's when it truly demonstrates the depth of
your knowledge in across all of your domains.
And the second one is when your content is impactful and when your
content is impactful, that's when it genuinely makes a difference.
When your content is impactful, it's what makes the positive change
that you desire to see.
And the third component is when your content is inspirational.
Inspire is the root word of inspirational.
So when your content is inspirational, that's when you motivate your
audience and it could be your supervisors, it could be stakeholders or
other vendors or collaborators, but when you're able to inspire them,
you get to move them to motivate them, to take a particular action as
a result of what you just said, and that is within your ability to
become persuasive.
So those are the three qualities of advanced composition, your ability
to create content with those three capabilities.
And by the way, if you're wondering, okay, that makes sense to me, cuz
at this level of your career right now, you should already be able to
produce content that has rationale to it.
And that is coherent at this level.
That's expected of you.
So, but if you desire to, and you understand the importance of
advanced composition and you're wondering to yourself, well, how do I
do that?
I understand being insightful, being impactful and being inspirational
is important to me, but what do I do next?
How do I make sure that I don't run out of things to say?
How do I know if my content has those three qualities?
And if you're serious about being able to develop that skills and that
vernacular, then I invite you to work with me.
Every single week this is how I train my clients in my executive
coaching program, and how do you create content like that.
And how do you deliver that content effectively.
And also on the flip side of it, how do you ensure that you're
actively listening to your audience as well so that you can continue
to refine your content in ways that are meaningful.
So if you desire to have those outcomes for you and your career path,
then I invite you to book a call with me.
Below this video there is a description, the first link is an
application for you to either speak to myself or a member of my team.
And this is where just to explore an initial conversation on whether
or not this is the right fit for you.
And if I can genuinely help you with what you're looking for.
And so if you desire that your result and you want me to coach you
step by step, to help you to have that vernacular, to hone this
skillset so that you can take your career to executive levels and
beyond then apply below.
And I look forward to speaking with you on the inside.
Let's summarize what we've covered so far.
The first A was active listening, the second A was advanced
composition and the third A is authentic deliverance.
And by the way, if this is really resonating with you, I invite you to
subscribe to my channel, give me a thumbs up as well to make sure that
you receive notifications every time I release a new video, just ring
that bell below, cuz I always release content like this every single
week about speaking, communication, career growth, and so on.
Right?
So now let's get back to point number three, which was advanced,
authentic deliverance.
What do I mean by that?
When most people think about delivering their content, the actual
speaking part they think about, well, I need to be more articulate,
right?
They think about articulation, but when it comes to becoming more,
articulate because being more articulate just simply means having the
fluency of, of delivering, having the fluency of the words flowing.
And by the way, fluency itself is a bare minimum.
When it comes to having fluency of your speech of your English
speaking, if that's the primary language that you are communicating
in, that's already expected of you especially if you are at the level
of executive, that's already expected.
So what I'm referring to here, when I'm talking about authentic
deliverance, it goes well beyond just simply articulation.
This is about delivering content where you are speaking the truth,
where you're speaking from your heart.
You're speaking from the depth of your knowledge and your wisdom.
That's authenticity, is speaking from the knowledge of, I know where
my strengths are, I know where my work experience, my work history and
my life experience comes from, and this is all in the spaces in which
I have developed my wisdom, but I'm also aware of my own weaknesses.
I'm also aware of areas where I have gaps that I want to, that I'm
working towards fulfilling as well.
And at knowledge, the wholeness and complete knowledge of myself, I'm
delivering my content from my authentic self, my true self, that is
authentic deliverance.
And by the way, authentic deliverance is all about having self
mastery.
Being able to master the way that you deliver it.
Being able to master, being able to recall the knowledge from the
inside out, even if it is on the spot from the previous step, which is
advanced composition and having self-mastery also refers to
self-governance.
Self-governance being, being able to control on the inside the fears,
the anxieties we have and we're putting ourselves out there.
And especially when you're sharing knowledge that other people could
possibly disagree with you or they might possibly have other
counter-arguments as well.
But having that self-governance the confidence that comes from within.
And by the way, I offered it before, if you want my guidance and my
executive coaching, refer to the link below this video for my coaching
to help you every step of the way.
And by the way, the first step, the first point was active listening.
If you remember that point number A, the first A was active listening.
And if you wanna go deeper into that previously, I did record a video
on active listening and it's gonna it's, that video is gonna be
playing right coming up next.
So stay tuned for active listening.
And if you have subscribed to my channel, then I'll also hang out with
you in my subsequent videos as well.
