Everyone has the opportunity to enhance their communication
skills with a little guidance and a few helpful resources.
Practice how communicate succinctly and on point
One of the best ways to improve your communication skills is to practice being clear and concise in meetings, presentations, and 1:1s. That means you need to get to your point. Communication structures, like the one explained, in this video can help you.
Get on the same page before your next group presentation
When teams work together and create a cohesive presentation, the audience is blown over because not only does each speaker’s talking point build on to the next but also there is sense of camaraderie between everyone on the team.
You’ve finished your presentation but you’re not done yet
It’s true. So many people prepare their presentations, but they forget to prepare for Q+A. To really help your audience interact with your presentation ideas, you need to be prepared to ask for their questions and be ready to have answers that underscore and/or elevate their understanding of your presentation topic.

When you can see your audience clearly , that’s when you can read the room.
Go into your next interview feeling confident and comfortable

Sometimes in person, most likely virtually. In this video, Sheron Tabois shares tips for how to prepare for your next interview so you can rest assured that you are putting your best foot forward.
