The role of public speaking in displaying self-image

Communication skills andpublic speakingBeing reliable is one of the important assets that a leader must have so that every message conveyed can be trusted by many people.There are many roles of a leader that require skilled communication techniques, both in leading meetings, presentations, and providing motivation and inspiration so that other people can carry out their work better.Communication skills andpublic speakingowned also directly reflects the self-image or personal branding of a leader.

A leader's self-image can be easily recognized just by seeing him when he speaks in public.For example, former US President Barack Obama, who is very inspirational, gives the impression of being a popular or down to earth leader.Another example is former President of the Republic of Indonesia B.J.Habibie gives the impression of being intelligent and innovative in every opportunity he has to speak in public.Apart from the insight you have, this certainly cannot be separated from your skillspublic speakingboth verbally and non-verbally so that he is able to convince and be admired by many people.

A leader's public speaking ability can also trigger the destruction of a self-image that has been built over many years.Not only does body language show a level of confidence, but also every word that is delivered is correct and trustworthy.Therefore, thorough preparation and repeated practice are necessary before speaking in public so that every word and movement can be done correctly.

Taking the example of a very famous figure in the field of technology, Steve Jobs practiced hundreds of times before speaking for less than 1 hour in front of the public.This is what made Steve Jobs not only famous as an innovator but also one of the best public speakers.If Steve Jobs was still training very intensely to hone his public speaking skills, what about you?A message that can be taken away is never to underestimate any opportunity public speakingeven though you have a lot of flying hours because your self-image is at stake.(AM)
