Top ways to Empower Your Communication

1. What you know.
Education is all about learning the fundamentals, but to be an effective speaker is to practice what you've learned. My stint as guest at every Toastmasters' meeting I go to taught me that we all have our boundaries, but that doesn't mean we can't learn to carry on and share what we know.

2. Listening.
It's just as essential as asking questions. Sometimes listening to the sound of our own voice can teach us to be a little bit positive with ourselves and to say the things we believe in with conviction.

3. Humility
We all make fault, and sometimes we tend to slur our words, stutter, and most likely mispronounce certain words even though we know what it means, but infrequently use it only to impress listeners. So in a group, don't be afraid to ask if you're saying the right word properly and if they're uncertain about it then make a joke out of it. I promise you it'll make everyone laugh and you can get away with it as well.

4. Eye Contact
There's a lot to say when it comes to guiding your attention to your audience with an eye-catching gaze. It's essential that you keep your focus when talking to a large group in a meeting or a gathering, even though he or she may be attractive.


5. Kidding around
A little bit of humor can do wonders to lift the anxiety, or worse boredom when making your speech. That way, you'll get the attention of the majority of the crowd and they'll feel that you're just as easy to talk to, and as human to those who listen.
