Business Executive Presence and Communication Skills Discussion
Executive Presence and Communication Skills – – Reflect on how your Executive Presence and communication skills have grown. Use the prompts below to organize your thoughts:
What have you learned about how you communicate in the workplace? Include both positive and negative aspects of your communication style.
In what ways have you improved your communication skills during this term?
What will you do go forward, to continue to improve your communication skills and Executive Presence?
Part a – please respond to classmate discussion whether you agree or not & a detailed why:
Although presenting is an essential function of my current role, it was good to revisit presentation best practices. The biggest issue I developed over the years of presenting in the corporate environment is the tendency to ramble. This tendency is a hard habit to break, especially when it shows up in both my writing and presentations. For the second video, I was sure to create speaker notes and use concise bulleting for my presentation. This method kept me on task while ensuring words were not “thrown up” on each slide. To maintain the engagement of an audience, it is vital that you, the speaker, command the attention, not the presentation.
I have learned had to be concise and using the proper formatting when sending communications. At times, I am required to communicate with C-Level management. These communications need to be brief and to the point, as C-Level managers rarely are answering their emails (most have their admins screening them). Through the teachings of this session, I have embraced working on condensing the electronic communication to be practical rather than extended forays into the unknown.
To reinforce the new communication skills, I gained during this class, I will remain disciplined in my communication while paying the lessons I have learned forward to my peers and subordinates. Communication exchanges can be complex when dealing with the public, shareholders, and investors (Plyler, 2020). Knowing how to communicate effectively is key to the success of any people leader.
PART A – PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT & A DETAILED WHY:
Reflecting on your first video in the course, what changes did you make for Assignment 3, to improve your Executive Presence? Adding non-verbal gestures and adding a story during presentations are the most significant changes I have made between Assignment 1 and 3. Before presentations, I have also spent more time on the preparation that has helped me be calmer, especially when I forget a line of two of my talk track during the presentation.
I have also started writing down a couple of keywords per slide on a small piece of paper, and I keep it handy, so if anyone asks questions during the presentation, I know where I need to resume after I answer the question.
What have you learned about how you communicate in the workplace? Include both positive and negative aspects of your communication style. Authenticity and candor in my communication make it easier for me to work with others and for them to trust me. My director has also commented during my recent performance review that I do ask great questions that bring clarity to the discussions on conference calls.
However, I also tend to be overeager to speak during conference calls. At times, I also write slightly long e-mails where the message gets buried. I also noticed that often I did not pay attention to the subject of the e-mails subject line would be generic.
In what ways have you improved your communication skills during this term? During the last ten weeks, a deliberate change I have made is to be a better listener. I started listening with the intent to understand, not just to respond. While writing e-mails, I have started writing a more informative subject line that tells the recipients why I am writing this e-mail, so that it doesn’t get buried in their Inbox (Garner, 1). I also focused on shortening my e-mails, adding bullets, and highlighting the main asks from the recipients in response to my e-mail.
What will you do go forward, to continue to improve your communication skills and Executive Presence? I want to learn the art of asking questions with the intent to persuade, to surface people’s own reasons for doing something. Till now, when I created presentations, I used to create slides first and then prepare my talk track. I learned during the term that we should do the opposite. I am not used to doing presentations this way, so this is something I will work on in future.
