Public Speaking with Confidence

Inspired by our uninspiring political elite I reflected on how important our public speaking skills when meeting prospective employees or employers really are. Last year I wrote a guide for those introverts or those lacking in confidence when public speaking such as an interview scenario.?

• Preparation is Your Secret Weapon:?Introverts excel when well-prepared. Research the company, rehearse responses, and feel your confidence soar. #CheckTheWeather
• Harness Your Listening Prowess:?Introverts are phenomenal listeners. Use this strength to engage thoughtfully with the interviewer's questions. #NoOneLikesAKnowItAll
• Power of Storytelling:?Craft compelling stories that showcase your accomplishments. Leave a lasting impression while highlighting your skills.
• Unleash Authentic Enthusiasm:?Passion is magnetic. Share what truly appeals to you about the role, authentically expressing your excitement.
• Curate Thoughtful Questions:?Prepare insightful queries that exhibit genuine interest. This is your chance to showcase how you will challenge and improve the status quo.
• Breathe Your Way to Calm:?Nerves? Breathe mindfully before the interview to stay composed and focused.

Remember, every individual's unique qualities can create an unforgettable impact. Authenticity, passion, and quiet excellence always stand out.
