Change Communications

Below is an extract from an article that I recently came across on communitelligence.com and I couldn’t agree more. This not only applies to media/presentation skills but I would say communications in general.

Extract:“The easiest way to spot an insecure public speaker is to look for someone who is dumping an endless supply of facts and details, but without the context of real examples and stories. Insecure speakers are afraid of looking stupid, so they always overcompensate by larding excessive facts into their presentation.

The insecure speaker uses the sea of facts as a protective covering to mask his or her insecurities. Only it doesn’t work.”
