Organisations spend a lot of time and money
recruiting and training the right kind of people to project the right kind of
image. They spend a lot of time and money working on their image, developing
their brand and producing as many positive signals as possible. Staff in
organisations should know that everything they do is marketing for the
organisation, every email they send, every phone call they take, every time
they interact with a client or customer.
Your appearance and understanding of personal
presentation techniques such as effective speaking and positive body language
will enhance your communication skills and raise your confidence. Personal
presentation is all about marketing ‘Yourself’, the brand that is you. What
others see you do and hear you say will influence their opinion about you, so
personal presentation is about painting yourself in as positive a light as
possible always.
“People who
present themselves as confident will be perceived as such by others”.
This section is about Skills You Need in designed to help you gain more confidence
and expertise in presenting yourself positively. Although personal
presentation is key in one-to-one situations such as a conversation, in a group
situation such as a meeting, or when giving a presentation such as a talk or
speech it is also important in less formal situations, when socialising with
friends, for example. How people perceive you is important to communication
and you should always aim to be viewed as positively and confidently as
possible.
Effectiveness
Everybody presents themselves differently and most
can improve their personal presentation. Personal presentation is about
learning about yourself, being inner-directed and accepting of who you are,
your positives and your negatives, and being comfortable with yourself. Personal
presentation is not about being self-conscious or overly concerned with what
others think about you. These concepts are closely related to Personal Empowerment.
Personal presentation is about you and how you present yourself in everyday situations. However,
personal presentation always involves at least two people, the person
presenting themselves (you) and the person receiving the presentation. It can
therefore be described as an interaction. Personal presentation is
concerned with conveying appropriate signals for the situation and for the
other individuals involved. People who lack self-esteem and confidence
may fail to convey their message effectively or fully utilise their skills and
abilities because of the way they present themselves. By improving your
personal presentation you improve your communication skills and reduce barriers
to understanding.
Areas
of Personal Presentation
Self-Esteem and Confidence
Self-esteem is not a static thing, it varies based on numerous factors, different situations and the presence of different people, personal stress levels and change. Think about how you value yourself and learn to manage the highs and lows of self-esteem, find ways of appearing more confident even when you are not and learn some powerful techniques to boost your self-esteem and learn about your personality. Confidence is a measure of how well we think we may perform certain roles or tasks. Linked to self-esteem, confidence is how we feel about our ability.
