Communication: qualities that make the difference

Webster's dictionary defines communication as "a giving or exchanging of information, signals, or messages by talk, gestures, writing, etc." The primary goal of communication in a learning environment is to transfer information to participants so that a maximum of the message is included and maintained.

It 's been said that communication is the most sincere friendliness. Sincerity is the principal basis on which the public judges the integrity of the trainer. To quote Mr. Webster, sincerity means "without deceit, pretense, or hypocrisy, true and straight-forward." However, your sincerity as a coach and someone else believes in sincerity that can not be two different things. You can believe in your subject, and be really interested in the communication of individuals and the public. But if you do not perceive to be true, ARE NOT SINCERE! Regardless of your beliefs, you can throw a different look to your group. Most people feel they can accurately judge the sincerity, although research indicates that people's perceptions are often wrong. So, as a coach, you must PROJECT sincerity.

Tips for the sincerity project: 1. Be yourself - give your presentation should be a natural reflection of your personality, not an imitation of someone else. 2. Concentrate on ideas rather than words - this prevents you from words and expressions that do not normally use, and maintain the natural flow of the presentation. 3. Improvisation rather than store - when you speak, use an outline, perhaps one on a flip chart or overhead projector, rather than a written text. Practice doing some lap in front of a mirror or with a tape recorder .......
