Getting Your Voice Heard
In the corporate world, employees need to communicate effectively for pitching ideas, and even to get one’s point across in meetings.
This is an art in which one has to be intentional and pay a good amount of attention to one’s communication. One cannot be a rambler or overly emotional in that kind of setting.

Speaking With Conviction
When we use words and phrases like:

Speech Delivery: Getting To The Point
Time is precious, so it pays to hook the audience with the main idea and give them a strong reason to continue listening. Your colleagues may be already overwhelmed with deadlines and demands made by others and will appreciate your clarity and brevity.
Delivering a new idea when everyone already has multiple deadlines to meet and zero bandwidth to process anything new will not be effective. Ensure that the listeners are not mentally occupied or feeling rushed about something else while you pitch your idea.

Speech Delivery: Don't Get Loud
Your volume is not as important as you think and even speaking in a relatively quiet voice has a hypnotic effect on the listener.
People also have to stop talking to be able to listen to your quiet voice, and it is a proven fact that a whisper gets more ears than a shout.

Body Language During A Speech
Be attentive of how you sit or stand, and avoid slouching, crossing your arms or looking here and there.
