2.
Put your views persuasively, unobtrusively and modulate your voice accordingly.
3.
Be courteous, clear and appear confident to command respect.
4.
Have a good attitude. A person with a positive attitude can direct his thoughts; control his emotions and regulate his attitudes.
5.
Better to concentrate on one or two ideas at a time to avoid confusion in your development of thought.
6.
Words are the vehicle of thought. Pay attention to what others are saying otherwise you may end up making statements that are irrelevant, and you will be labeled as inconsistent as well. Therefore, listen effectively. Try to encourage others without acting impatient. Simply nod and say ‘I see’, or other positive listening words.
7.
When your views are challenged you must be able to defend your statement tactfully and convincingly.
Be alert and show interest in what others are saying. Analyze your strong points and substantiate them by examples, statistical data to throw light on the topic. Concentrate on what you want to say and how you want to say. Present your points in a logical order to make them interesting.
8.
Try to set a good beginning and equally a good ending.
9.
Be natural, friendly and cheerful. Friendliness is something of a bonus. Remember you have come to win friends, not to make foes.
10.
Speak to the whole group looking at each candidate in turn. Effective eye contact is an important feedback device that makes the speaking situation a two-way communication process. Eye contact binds a speaker with his audience. The adage that ‘eyes are the mirrors of your soul’ underlines the need for you to convince people
