My boss used to tell us that the difference between a good manager and a great one is his or her ability to communicate effectively. And, not for nothing, the people you see getting ahead are those who are comfortable talking to others, either one on one or to a group of people. Whether it’s welcoming people, introducing an employee of the month candidate, or speaking to a gathering of peers or visiting executives. Those are the people selected to represent the company at local events, give interviews when media seeks information, going to conferences and presenting (alone or on a panel), or addressing the shareholders. They’re the ones who take pride in their ability to do this and aren’t afraid to take chances… and they’re the one remembered when promotions are being considered. Because they’re competent and confident. Many companies offer public speaking courses, and they’re also available off site through Dale Carnegie or local community colleges – enroll and ask for tuition reimbursement: nobody was ever refused for trying to better themselves. So, don’t hide yourself when there are opportunities like this available. Stand up, speak up, and show them what you’ve got. You control this ability to stand out and get ahead today.
