Managerial Training is Key to Your Success
Managerial Training is Key to Your Success Have you heard the expression that “sergeants run the army, and petty officers run the navy”? Sergeants and petty officers are the managers of the military and critical to the success or failure of operations because they are there at the front and working directly with the soldiers and sailors. In your business or organization your managers are the operational leaders of your success or failure. How can you boost their success and hence the success of your organization? By providing them with the training and coaching to develop their managerial and leadership skills. If they were promoted to manager, they already have the trade and operational skills. What they need most is the ability to work through others. How can they lead their team? When you promoted them did you design a managerial training program for them? Did that include communication and presentation skills? Managers face tough communication challenges. They need to convey instructions to their staff. They also need to listen to their staff to learn about problems and opportunities. Managers then need to communicate appropriate information within the organisation and to senior management. Managers might need to bite their tongue while listening to the wisdom of executive leadership before they offer insights from the front lines. Managers are key to the success of your organization, and they need the necessary communication, leadership and thinking skills to succeed. They also need the support of senior leaders because they are your eyes and eyes to what’s happening within and at the front lines. How can you equip your managers with the success for success? By providing the training, coaching to develop their communication, leadership and presentation skills. Imagine the results when you managers communicate more confidently, effectively and efficiently. Because effective communication reduces stress and enhances productivity. When you train and coach your managers, guess what they will be inclined to do? Train and coach, their staff. Your staff will become better communicators with their managers, with their team and most importantly – with your customers. Big win there. Imagine that – train your managers and they train their staff. Think about the benefits of that to your business. Communication training helps them do their jobs better, connect with their team and feel better about themselves and their perceived value. When you provide training for your people, they recognize that you care about them and want them to succeed. Think about that. Any training pays off in many ways and imagine the power of communication training – the one skill set that most of us need to improve at work and at home. Stop hoping that your managers become better communicators because that is a wasted plan. Instead support them with the training they need.

Manage and Leverage Your Confidence
Manage and Leverage Your Confidence Did you know that confidence is the currency of success, yet it can be the most difficult coin to obtain? Like money, the more you have the more you get. Yet, unlike money, you can’t borrow, trade or steal it. If you experience speech anxiety or the fear of public speaking – you are normal. It is considered the most common fear. From my experience as a presentation coach, I’ve been surprised to discover that many of my clients experience that fear or anxiety. That includes people who’ve been successful in their career or business. They’ve demonstrated success yet they still feel nervous about public speaking. Why is that? One theory suggests that when we speak before others – we feel we are being judged and we believe that they can read our mind – that they can see us metaphorically naked. The reality is that the audience can’t read our mind. They can’t see within our mind cage. That’s why we need to express our message clearly in words that they understand. Consider this question: Is it more important to feel confident or to look confident? Think about that… You probably want both – to feel confident and to look confident. It’s more important to look confident. Why? Because that’s the audience perspective. If they believe you look and sound confident, they are more likely to listen to and believe your message. The key point here is that is not about you. It’s about your audience. What did they see, hear, believe and feel? That means that during your presentation you might experience those moments of anxiety – but the audience doesn’t need to know. Confidence starts by becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. The audience doesn’t need to know about your inner doubts or anxiety. Put on a happy face for them. Believe in the value of your message. That’s why you’re speaking. That’s why they listen. It’s more important that the audience believes you’re confident than you to feel confident all the time. The momentary lapses are normal and for your information only. PS: I experience those occasional moments of anxiety and don’t let it show. Superior Presentations Tips from George TorokReceive regular tips.
