Confident Simplicity

Want to be unafraid when speaking?

Then remember, simplicity is the key to confident, effective communication. Don’t worry about including everything – if they want to hear more, they’ll ask. Be conversational; don’t use grandiose language (the bigger the audience, the more effective being conversational is). Try to have empathy with your audience, and consider what they want. Be in the moment; adapt and create as necessary to convey your information, message and character (yes, character – you’re probably a lot more interesting than you think). So:

Keep things simple.

  1. Remove the pressure of perfection – don’t have a rigid script.
  2. Use stories. Reel them in with your unique experiences.
  3. Talk, listen, interact.

Immediately before your conversation, presentation or interview, remember that whatever you say should come naturally. Missing something out doesn’t matter, because a conversational style uses flow and interaction, while also conveying… confidence.

Simple.
