Framing the idea/thought/image in your mind.

Encoding the idea into suitable language and words.

Sequencing and structuring the content.

Delivering or expressing the encoded ideas through speech.

Receiving feedback from the listener.

A few suggestions for improving our use of language

1. Use the Language with Care

2. Go for the Active Voice

3. Use Words that Communicate Feelings

4 Avoid Modifiers- A few examples are: perhaps, may be, could be, and should be. Avoid saying ‘you could get the material’ when you can say ‘you will get the material.

5 Use Metaphors to Your Advantage- Can help you think of appropriate similies.

6 Use Words which Come Easily to You

Eye Contact- When you enter the room or the venue, look at your entire audience in one quick sweep. Then take a few seconds to look around the room and ‘your space’-the area from where you will be addressing the group.

Be as relaxed as possible. Stand straight so that your body is erect. Take care,

however, that the process of standing upright is not transformed into stiffness.

Your body weight should be balanced equally on both your feet.

Avoid leaning on the lectern or a side wall. Avoid rocking movements. Constant shifting can

district your audience. Place your notes or index cards at an angle where you

don’t have to slouch in order to read. Precious eye contact is lost when you have to bend to consult your notes. Decide where you want your notes to be placed for easy reading.

Grab the lectern for support.

Keep your hand in your pockets all through your presentation.

Clutch your arms and lock them against your chest.

Fiddle with your jewellery or any other prop.

Stop rubbing your nose, dangling your keychain around your finger, pulling at your cuffs or waving your hands as if you were directing an orchestra.
