One of the training sessions I attended while in college
made a tremendous impression on me. The session was conducted by a leading
communication skills trainer. He taught me something that immediately created a
paradigm shift in me that has stayed in my mind ever since. And this was: Never express to impress.
Don’t
worry about how to impress your audience. Make sure you have something worth
their while to tell them, and then tell it without any hesitation or
inhibition. Simple but awesome piece of advice. If you don’t have anything
worth your audience’s time, don’t waste everybody’s time by making the
presentation in the first place. Honesty is indeed the best labor saving
device in the universe!!
