Nine Tips to Speak More Confidently in Public

At some point in your life, career, even in retirement, someone is going to ask you to speak in public. Most of the time these will be short introductory forays in front of friends and family. Think your best friend’s wedding toast or other social interactions. Still, there are going to be the occasional work-related presentations in front of co-workers or gasp a sales presentation for a new client.

For many people, just the thought of speaking in public brings on a panic attack that has them racing to the nearest exit. But speaking in front of people needn’t be scary and off-putting. In fact, you can manage it better than you think with preparation and practice before the big day.

I have gathered 9 confidence-boosting tips for you to try the next time you are asked to speak publicly.   

1 | Watch how famous speakers do it

Begin by observing the traits and habits of successful public speakers. Take note of their styles and timing. What engagement techniques do they use with their audience?

2 | Dress for the occasion

Personal grooming is very important. How will people pay attention to your speech if all they can see is your messy hair or wrinkled suit? Make sure you look good, ready, and professional.

3 | Connect with your audience

One of the best ways to create a connection with your audience is to speak from your heart. Don’t just memorize your speech, talk with feelings and allow your emotions to rise to the surface. When people see you are passionate about something they almost always connect with you. Using stories is another compelling way to interact with your audience. They have probably experienced something similar that brings their own feelings to the surface.

4 | Start believing you are fabulous

Negative thinking will not help you deliver your best speech. When you are confident about yourself, it will radiate in your speech. Walk the stage and use your voice and body language. When you speak, speak with authority and confidence.

5 | Don’t be too hard on yourself

We all make mistakes but if you don’t tell anybody no one will ever know. It’s alright if you forget to read something or accidentally skip forward. Relax and carry on. Remember your audience is on your side. They want to learn what it is you have to say or teach.

6 | Slow Down

If you are a fast or nervous talker, try to slow down and enjoy every moment of your speech. No matter how good your material is, if the audience can’t keep up, they will go home learning NOTHING.

7 | Establish Eye Contact

Always look at your audience when speaking to them this helps to put them at ease. Pick out individuals in the crowd and speak to them. You will appear more confident when your head is held up rather than face down glued to your notes.

8 | Use humor

You don’t need to be a comedic genius, but a few lighthearted comments will liven the mood in the room. You can surely win your audience with well-timed clever remarks.

9 | Keep it short and sweet

You can’t go on for hours speaking about the same thing. Organize all your points and deliver them accordingly. Don’t torture your audience by having them listen to your ramblings.

Well, there you have it. A broad overview of what you need to know to speak more confidently in front of people.

My favorite tip is number 5. Please let me know what your favorite is or if you have a tip of your own that you use.

How To Know You Are An Introvert

Our world is naturally extrovert-centric, and up until very recently, introverts got a bad rap. Naturally, introverts often feel the need to pretend to be extroverted more than they really are so they aren’t ridiculed by their friends for being a party-pooper or more necessarily so because they live and work in an extrovert-centric world. But after a while, you may have forgotten who you truly are and wonder why some things seem so difficult for you. Here’s a list of six behaviors that prove you are an introvert. If you have friends or family who are introverted please share this post with them.

You feel like a fraud when networking -

Textbook introverts are uncomfortable making small talk, which is a vital part of networking activities. If you feel something akin to a used car salesman no matter what the networking event is or feel you have nothing of interest to add to the conversation, or just dislike being put on the spot, you may be an introvert posing as an extrovert.

You feel out of place, even among a large group of friends -

Introverts much prefer one on one conversation rather than conversations with large groups, even if the group is full of friends. They often find the topic of conversation dull or not worth jumping in and talking about. However, when they are chatting with just one person, they can sway the topic of conversation to something that excites them. Still, you will find the introvert one of the first to leave the party when they have had enough.

You get overstimulated rather than bored -

A good description of an introvert shows they are rarely bored because there’s always something new and exciting to think about. They may have several projects that they are interested in, though they tend to focus on only one at a time. They love being by themselves and find solitary pastimes to be especially invigorating.  They do, however, get overstimulated when there’s too much going on.

You’ve been told you are intense -

A problem common to introverts is they enjoy jumping right into the deep pool of conversation. They feel idle chit-chat is a waste of time and energy and will start a conversation off with a deeply philosophical comment or question. This can freak out an extrovert who just wants to have a good time. Yet, in social situations, introverts often attach themselves to a trusted extrovert who makes it easier for them to meet new people and engage in the necessary small talk.

You shut down when over-stimulated -

When there’s too much going on all around an introvert, they head for the hills to hide. When that’s not possible, they simply shut down. This zoning out gives their brains a break - it’s a mental retreat they take if a physical one isn’t possible. When you can, you avoid being over-stimulated by saying no to things you know will drain you or make you feel uncomfortable.

You don’t run to answer your calls or respond to texts -

Introverts don’t like to be interrupted when they are thinking or working. Since they aren’t the gregarious folks that extroverts are, they have to be in the mood to talk to people. If they don’t feel like it when someone calls or texts them, they will allow the call go to voicemail and deal with the text at a later time. If you do this, it doesn’t mean you don’t like the person, but that you are in a rejuvenating space and need to be alone. You’ll catch up with them later.

If you hadn’t guessed I am the quintessential introvert. Over the years I have noticed some patterns of the behavior have become easier while others are more difficult. For instance, it is harder for me to leave the house than it once was. Once I am out though, I find I can talk to anyone, where before I spoke to no one. 

If this post resonates with you and you see yourself in any of these behaviors let me know which ones. Yes, I am curious. And I am also buoyed by the knowledge that so many of us who are introverts own it proudly these days. Included in this number is Steven Spielberg, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates, and Eleanor Roosevelt just to name a few.

Five Ways To Improve Your Listening Skills

How Well Do You Listen?

It should be noted that listening is every bit as important as speaking. Why? Because we all want to be heard and understood. That means someone needs to be on the receiving end listening, or we would just be talking to ourselves. But being heard isn’t the only benefit of good listening. People tend to think a good listener is more trustworthy. But, to really be heard you must listen.

The biggest way you can do that is to improve your listening skills. Listening requires concentration, at least, if you are not used to doing it and it also takes practice. The following five tips should help start you on your way to becoming a great listener.

Are You Fully In the Moment?

It’s understandable why people get distracted. There is a lot going on in life both personal and business. You owe it to yourself and to others to minimize distractions while having a conversation. And make no mistake being a good listener means being a good conversationalist.

People tend to be self-absorbed and constantly think about themselves. So, while you think about yourself, remember it’s also important to be mindful of others.

The benefits of improved listening will make it worthwhile to you as people will know (at least subconsciously) when you are doing it and appreciate it. They will feel your interest and want to spend more time with you. They will sense that you are taking notice of what they have to say and in turn will want to listen to you.

Tip 1: Clear your mind and focus on what the person is saying.

Take a Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes

When they are speaking, make an effort to put yourself in their place. Listening doesn’t mean you have to respond to everything. In fact, sometimes all people need is to get something off their chests. Giving advice is not always a good idea, especially if you are not familiar with the situation or don’t have the expertise. Again, it’s all about hearing what others are talking about and showing empathy when needed.

It also doesn’t require you to unconditionally agree with what is being said. But it’s important to at least hear the message. When you feel you are in the right and can offer your opinion on whatever the subject may be, then you should do so. When it is your turn to talk, find some common ground and start with something you agree with.

 Tip 2: Be tactful and respectful of others.

Let the Speaker Know You Were Listening

Be responsive and encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments like yes, and uh huh. Nod occasionally and smile, make eye contact. Ask questions or for clarification on a particular point. Begin your questions with the words “how” and “what” to leave them open-ended. This invites a further exchange of information. So, don’t forget to share information about yourself. This is a conversation, not an interrogation.

Tip 3: Build connections with people.

Practice Active Listening

Show a genuine interest in what the person is saying by giving your full attention. This should be reinforced by eye contact and other Body Language signals such as facial expressions and gestures. Don’t mentally prepare what you will say next. It’s difficult to listen to and fully understand what you heard under that circumstance. Instead, show the person that you understood what had been said by repeating and paraphrasing what you heard. Then ask them “if this is what they meant.”

Tip 4: Show your interest in what the person says.

Develop a Growth Mindset

People who are curious see conversations as learning opportunities. So, they see everyone they speak to as having the potential to teach them something. They are open to new ideas, challenges, and experiences. For these people, listening to others has become another way to absorb knowledge.  

Tip 5: Expand your knowledge.

Listening is a skill that can be mastered. It takes time and a commitment. Remember your goal is to truly hear what the other person is saying. What you will find when you put forth the effort is that people may start approaching you more often because you have taken these first few steps to becoming a great listener.

How To Develop Listening Skills

Listening Skills

I really enjoyed writing this post. It has always been my belief that understanding others is only achieved when truly listening to them. Please let me know what you think.

Body Language Understanding Non-Verbal Cues

Did you ever meet someone and think right away that maybe you couldn’t trust them? What was it about them that caused you to feel that way? Was it something they said or did? Because in the first few minutes of meeting someone, we make decisions about that person's intentions based on their non-verbal cues.  

Non-verbal Communication, commonly called body language, is the way our bodies tell another person about whom we really are and what we really think. There’s a reason Hollywood portrays the villain in an ugly light, just as they make the hero look like he can do no wrong. They want us to be sure who the players are.

It's especially important to make a good first impression. As many people like to say you never get a second chance at a good first impression. So make sure what your Body Language reveals about you is aligned with what you are saying.

Confidence - Signals 

• Posture: stand straight and tall with your shoulders back but relaxed
• Lean in slightly: this shows your focus is on them
• Eye contact: present a solid gaze with a smiling face
• Gestures: hands and arms should be purposeful and deliberate
• Speech: slow and clear
• Tone of voice: moderate to low and don't end every sentence with a question
• Handshake: firm 

Relaxed and calm is what people like to see. It’s like when you smile at someone and they smile back at you. You cause them to want to smile because you seem to be happy. It rubs off.

Communication, not your strong point? Then practice in front of a mirror. Smile and say hello. Notice how you look. Would you want to meet you? Or would you cross the street to avoid you?

Now practice standing up straight, shoulders back, hands fidget free at your sides, and eyes forward making contact. Good posture is a good practice to develop. Being all scrunched up and hunched over with a frown on your face is no way to be. Pretend there is a string in the top of your head pulling you up. Now smile. There, you look great!

Defensiveness - Signals 

• Hand/arm gestures: small and close to the body
• Facial expressions: minimal
• Body: turned away from you
• Arms: crossed in front of body
• Eyes: downcast, no eye contact

When you see this behavior your audience isn't open to what you have to say and your message is falling on deaf ears. By picking up on these cues you can make changes to what you say or how you are saying it to help that person feel more at ease and thereby more receptive to your message.

Disengagement - Signals 

• Heads: are down
• Eyes: glazed over or gazing elsewhere
• Hands: fiddling with pen or doodling
• People: slumped in their chairs

This behavior tells you your audience isn't buying into what you're saying. When you see that someone appears to be disengaged you can bring their focus back to the topic at hand by asking them a direct question and waiting for their answer. 

Lying - Signals

• Eyes: maintain little to no contact, or have rapid eye movements
• Hands/fingers: in front of mouth when speaking
• Body: turned away from you or unusual body gestures
• Breathing: rate increases
• Complexion: changes in color, red in the face or neck
• Perspiration: increases
• Voice: changes in pitch, stammering or throat clearing

The ability to know if someone is lying will stand you in good stead. But if you notice some of these signs of lying don't jump to conclusions as they are often signs of nervousness. Instead, ask questions that may help to define what they think to see if this is the case.

Reflection - Signals 

• Eyes: look away and return when answering
• Fingers: stroking chin
• Hand: on cheek
• Head: tilted with eyes looking up

What do you do when asked a really good question? These gestures give away that they are thinking or pondering the answer to that question.

Understanding non-verbal communication is beneficial to your relations with people and a skill anyone can learn with practice. So, become more confident today by putting just one thing from this post into practice. In a short time, you will develop your own style of walking, standing, and greeting people. Remember: actions speak louder than words.

Five Reasons You Need To Keep A Gratitude Journal

I don’t doubt you've often been told to be thankful for what you have when something awful happens. But, it’s not easy. Research shows that being thankful is a beneficial habit. When you are in the habit of being grateful it’s easier to focus on the good in your life rather than dwelling on the bad. Keeping a gratitude journal is an increasingly popular tool being used by those seeking to improve themselves.

And The Five Reasons Are:

1|   Changing Thought Patterns: studies have shown a strong mind-body connection. When we feel stressed, anxious or any other negative emotion it can have a negative effect on our physical health. By considering those things, events or people you are thankful for you create positive thoughts and feelings which help reduce your stress levels. It also reminds you that whatever happens to you there is always something to feel thankful for.

Your commitment to your gratitude journal focuses your mind on positive events, conversations, relationships, and the gifts each new day brings. Enabling you to see more than just those negative ones that tend to fill your mind and dominate your thoughts when they happen.

Another way your thought patterns change is that you find you begin to push boundaries and remove limiting beliefs. This happens as you not only keep your gratitude journal but as you review it. You find that your mind opens to new possibilities and you gain in self-confidence and knowledge.

2|   Improve Your Health: the fact that there is a mind-body connection means that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings in your gratitude journal you are helping to improve your physical and mental health. Studies have shown that regular gratitude journaling can:

    Relieve stress and anxiety

    Improve sleep

    Gain perspective

3|   Create Optimism: some days it's just too hard to see the forest for the trees. You find yourself focused on something that has upset you and that troublesome thought nags away at you constantly. Taking some time to sit quietly and think about something you are grateful for helps reduce negative thoughts and feelings and replace them with positive ones.

4|   Improved Sleep: regardless of whether you feel the need for eight hours sleep each night your body and mind do require a regular amount of sleep each night for optimal mental and physical health. Keeping a gratitude journal is fun, calming, and a positive activity that promotes happy thoughts and feelings. By replacing worry and stress, you can sleep more peacefully and have happier dreams.

5|   It's Fun: keeping a gratitude journal should be a fun enjoyable experience; something you look forward to. Choose a time of day that works best for you.  It doesn't matter whether you use a plain notebook, a really fancy one, or a digital method. Your entries can be as simple as I am grateful for today’s sunshine (or a more descriptive) that warms my patio where I drink my morning coffee. Get as creative as you like. Jazz it up by using different colored pens or pencils, or stickers to decorate the pages.

If you want to create a positive change in yourself and your life, then keeping a gratitude journal might be the tool you are looking for. It's cheap, easy and very beneficial to your physical and mental health.

Side-note: I found the following posts to be full of good information and I plan to incorporate an idea or two into my gratitude journal. I hope that you will also find them helpful.

HOW TO CREATE A BLOG TITLE PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO READ

I know the reality is we want someone to read our post. But they must be interested enough to click on our blog title first. So how do we come up with that so called "catchy headline" we hear so much about?

Why is it important? What words are necessary? How is anyone going to find it or us?

Remember your blog title is the portal through which your present audience and the uninitiated enter and read your awesomeness. So give them a good reason to click on your title and an even better one to read your post.

Let's Break Things Down Into Pieces

Why Is Your Blog Title Important?

It is the implied promise to answer a question(s) or an offer of results for your reader. Whose topics they are either aware or even unaware that they have wanted or needed.

What Words Are Necessary?

Power words - Get and command your readers' attention, what you want them to do

Emotive words - Elicit an emotional response in your reader, how you want them to feel

Keywords and keyword phrases - Help people searching for products or           services to find you and your business 

How Will Your Blog Title/Post Be Found?

Through the use of keywords or keyword phrases. Keywords are necessary to your blog title especially if you have no audience or following. Without them, your only hope is that your audience accidentally finds your post. Not a particularly promising proposition. 

Putting The Pieces Together

Creating Your Blog Title

The easiest blog titles to create are How To and List (numbered) titles. Whether you write your blog post first and come up with a title that fits or the opposite is totally up to you as there is no firm and fast rule for a right or wrong way.

What is a definite no-no is the "click bait" title that bears little or no relation to the actual post, I personally recommend that you compose at least 3-5 titles before you choose your final version.

I suggest you use the Headline Analyzer tool from Coshedule. This free tool gives you an immense amount of information about the titles you've created thereby helping you to make the best final choice. 

For example, Here is a list of the possible titles I created for this particular post

•      3 Things That Get Your Blog Title Noticed
•      3 Special Words That Get Your Blog Title Noticed
•      Never Underestimate The Influence Of A Catchy Blog Title
•      The Basics Of Writing A Good Blog Title
•      Create A Blog Post Title People Want To Read
•      How To Create A Blog Title People Actually Want To Read

As you can see I chose the last title. I felt this one not only conveyed exactly what I was trying to say in my post but also bore the greatest relationship to the post.

Still as you read through the post you should be able to pick out words or phrases I used that led me to consider those other title possibilities.

The Essential Words We Use

Your title should be specific, get your point across, and pack a punch. Within this framework, you need power words, descriptive words, emotive words, and yes, keywords.

• For example, your title could say: Lose 30 Pounds Fast
• or, Quickly Lose 30 Pounds In 3 Weeks , While Never Feeling Hungry  

The first example tells us we will lose weight fast which might be what we want. Yet the second example is much more descriptive. We know exactly how quickly we will lose the weight, our fears of dieting are allayed by knowing we will not feel hungry, and our keyword phrase can be either lose 30 pounds or quickly lose 30 pounds.

Your Readers Will Find You And Your Blog

If you have no audience it won't happen overnight. But, it will happen if you have written helpful posts that entertain and use the keywords and keyword phrases that you want to be ranked for.

This and attention grabbing blog titles that use the same keywords should begin bringing organic traffic to your blog/website.

Never underestimate the power of social media to help you increase the traffic coming to your blog.

On your business Facebook page, post an excerpt of your latest blog along with its image and a link. Tweet your latest blog title with a link to your post.

Encourage your readers to share your posts with those they feel will benefit from your message.  

I hope you enjoyed this post and that it has answered some of the most basic questions you may have had about coming up with a blog title that people will want to read.

If this was helpful to you please share it with your friends. If you didn't like it let me know what I could have done better or what you would rather have seen.

7 EFFECTIVE TIPS TO IMMEDIATELY DRIVE WEBSITE TRAFFIC

Begin With A Quick Audit Of Your Website

It isn't necessary that you do this. And this list is by no means exhaustive. But I feel these items are important if you want to get more value from the traffic that arrives at your site.

• How fast does your website load, too slow and you lose visitors
• Is your website mobile responsive
• How clear is your navigation, can your visitors easily find their way around your site
• Do you have CTA's so your visitors know what you would like them to do next
• Does your homepage tell visitors what you do, and the benefit it offers to them
• Are your opt-ins strategically placed on more than one page
• Do you have a contact page for your visitors to reach out if they have questions

Increasing Your Website Traffic For Free

1 | Add Your URL To Your Social Media Posts, Images, And Bios

Make your URL short, sweet, and to the point. Assuming the reason you post on Social Media is to interact with people, don't make it difficult for them to find you in the place you most want to be found. Everything that you post, everywhere, should be a doorway that leads visitors back to your website. 

2 | Pin All Of Your Content To Pinterest

Pin your newly created and published pieces of content to all of your relevant boards and to any relevant group boards you belong to. People search Pinterest for more than just recipes and do it yourself projects. You can put the power of this search engine to work for you by making sure your images are beautiful, correctly sized, and you have an image description. Add your keywords to your board descriptions.

3 | SEO Check On Everything

The simplest SEO you can do is to make sure that your keywords are in your post titles, headings, the content that you write and that it all matches. Your URL's should also contain your keywords. 

4 | Interview Someone You Admire

What a great way to introduce someone new to your audience and get in front of their audience. Make sure you ask interesting questions whose answers are a benefit and it's a win-win for all. 

5 | E-mail Your Subscriber List

When you email your list remind them to share it with their friends. Add a link to your email signature that leads to your website.

6 | Blog 

Post more often, but not at the sacrifice of good quality. Pick a frequency you can stick to. Provide your visitors with a good reason to stay on your site, visit frequently, and eventually purchase from you. You want to give value in return for the time your audience spends reading your blog. Add links to relevant past posts to keep your visitor engaged longer on your website. Have share buttons to make it easy for your audience to share your awesome content with their followers. 

7 | Utilize The Power Of Videos

People love videos. So give them what they love. Add videos to pages on your site to emphasize a point. You can use videos to showcase and demonstrate your products. Share your screen and show how-to's. Film customer testimonials. Add video content to Facebook and Twitter. Start a YouTube channel.

Free Traffic aka Organic Traffic

This is nothing more than people finding you and your website / business without any dollars leaving your pocket and lining other people's pockets in the process.

I had fun writing this post, but it was difficult to choose only 7 ways to drive traffic when there are so many. So I based my choices on what I thought give the most bang for your non buck. If you liked this please share it with your friends. As always let me know what you think.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR FIRST EFFECTIVE SALES FUNNEL

Why Do You Need A Sales Funnel?

Whether you make money from an online business or a blog, you need a sales funnel to convert your customers/ readers into buyers. Unfortunately many entrepreneurs either don't know what a sales funnel is for or how to use one.
Plainly, the main purpose of your sales funnel is to move people through the various phases until they reach the final purchasing phase. But, in truth, it's more complex these days. Now, you need to nurture relationships that help to foster the "know, like, trust" factor if you want people to buy. And, you want that nurturing to happen for them every step of the way. In today's online world not everyone begins at the top of your funnel. It is just as common that a person doing a search finds your website, likes your product, and makes a purchase. Your attention to this customer at this point is crucial if you want their repeat business.

Begin With A Simple Sales Funnel

At some point, it's likely that your business will utilize multiple funnels to sell your products and services. Yet, your first sales funnel will likely be a super simple one and strictly speaking needn't sell anything. A well functioning, lead gathering funnel that brings in subscribers is a valuable asset to any type of business.
Still, in most sales funnels you have awareness of you and your business  at the top, and an action of some  kind at the bottom. The amounts, and kinds of phases,  or stages in between, can be as many and varied as you need for the business you have. I recommend simplicity for your first funnel because, like any piece of content that you create, you will want to gauge the responses to it and make any changes as necessary to refine it. In other words, you need to gather data, analyze, and improve your funnel if you want better results.

Determine Your Ultimate Goal

• Inventory your list of offers, both paid, and unpaid 
• Sort your offers into those that are anytime, or evergreen offers, and those that are either time specific, or one-time offers
• Determine what your ultimate goal is for this particular funnel
• Create the customer's journey outlining the steps for them to follow
• Create an automated email series, map out exactly what's included at each level

Building Your First Sales Funnel

Phase 1 | What You Can Do To Raise Brand Awareness

1. Your website optimized for user experience. With easy to use navigation, load speed, and mobile friendliness. This can't be stressed enough as this is often where your customers have found you, and they will judge your business by its appearance.
2. A Social Media presence. You need not be on every platform, but, you certainly need to be where your target audience hangs out. 
3. Your blog. If you don't have a blog you should consider starting one. There is no better vehicle for spreading your knowledge and authority about the products, or services you sell.
4. Ads. You can place an ad in your local newspaper, through Google Adwords, or Facebook ads.

Phase 2| Interest / Lead Gathering

1. Capture the email addresses of interested people with a targeted lead magnet.
2. Ask for social likes and follows to keep in front of those less interested at this time. 

Phase 3 | Nurturing Your List / Decision

1. Your email sequence has done its job, and you've skipped straight to the last phase and made a few sales.
2. Target the remainder of your list with an additional sequence that gives them more free value.
3. Ask them what they are struggling with, and offer to help them overcome it.
4. Don't forget to respond to their questions and concerns.

Phase 4 | Action / Sale

1. You have made several sales. But, your job isn't done.
2. You have more nurturing to do if you want repeat customers, and word of mouth recommendations.
3. Remember to thank them.
4. Check back with them to see that they are using/ enjoying their new product.
5. If not find out why not.

Sidenote:

A quick and easy way to look at some great sales funnels is to sign up to an email list or purchase a product of someone you like or admire. Pay attention to the email sequence, and their sales funnel as you receive it ( I recommend that you  save them if they are particularly good) to use as a guideline. Don't copy it but use it as a reference.

I hope you found this easy to understand, and useful as you create your own first sales funnel. Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you. Please share it with your friends if it was helpful.
