Helps you visualise the presentation actually going well if you have some positive points of reference to draw from. <br /><br />I can feel a part two to this post with that revised point included... :)<br /><br />Many thanks again,<br /><br />Patrickmullarkeypjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525751223678887500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626829772918784334.post-32303238984040246322011-07-16T10:46:26.356+01:002011-07-16T10:46:26.356+01:00Public speaking is an immensely important skill th...Public speaking is an immensely important skill that can even prove excruciatingly difficult for some of the world's most well known talking heads. A clear example being one of the richest men on the planet, Warren Buffet, who's own "intense fear" of public speaking at a young age is well documented.<br /><br />I think I would take issue with your first point about embracing your own innocence. Though I agree it is crucial that you have to meet your fear head own I would suggest that this can be far better overcome by continually practising giving presentations/talks be it in the bath room or living room to your long suffering husband/wife/cat/dog etc etc... This way familiarizing yourself with the process before the moment of truth... This would then allow you to deliver with supreme confidence that you quite rightly flag up, in the second quote, as being indispensable.<br /><br />Practise makes perfect!!!<br /><br />Just a thought....<br /><br />Thanks for the posts and keep it up!!!<br /><br />Nice changes to the site!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626829772918784334.post-76979154709825650482011-06-01T11:18:47.735+01:002011-06-01T11:18:47.735+01:00I've recently put together some employee guide...I've recently put together some employee guidelines on social networking.

I am now working for a team of consultants here in Leicester. They are full of energy and come up with some very interesting ways of looking at things from a different perspective. If you are in need of any refreshment, our blogs which contain things to think about can be found here: http://www.rambutan.biz/blog.<br /><br />(please feel free to filter out/edit this post- I wont be offended!)JJillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626829772918784334.post-49646575849317185532010-03-08T16:45:56.231+00:002010-03-08T16:45:56.231+00:00Hi all...

Though I'm not in HR, I think this is a relevant debate to people across all sectors, when to take the plunge?<br /><br />Never an easy answer though I suppose you can only do it when you feel the risk/reward tradeoff is a favourable one on both a professional and personal level. For example, if you fell you have learnt all you can from your current employer, or have no further promotions available, then maybe the professional risk isn't too great...<br /><br />Whatever happens leaving your comfort zone and trying continuously re-invent yourself must be positive!<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
