Formal attire is for everyone as a part of the
international business language
BLACK—color of authority
RED—good for confidence
BROWN—denotes reliability
GREY—shows dependability
Pastels are best worn for accents such as
blouses & scarves - they suggest lack of
credibility
May be the biggest part of effective workplace communication
It “tells”—gestures and facial expressions tell the listener what you are thinking or what your attitude is regardless of what you are verbalizing
Hidden signals conveyed by your body

Cocky

› When you speak
When we speak, our listeners get an impression of how we feel from our tone of voice
We can sound pleasant & friendly, angry & upset, or irritated & frustrated
Need to be cautious
about the tone we use,
so that we convey our
message effectively
How do you want to be
perceived?
Do you let your
underlying emotions
interfere in your daily
conversations with
others?
› If you do, then you
may be sending the
wrong messages!
Our melody is more
controlled
› we can stress important
words with less up & down
with pitch changes
Our speaking volume may
be louder
Our up &down pitch when
stressing words is more
extreme - we tend to
make higher pitch
changes
A quieter voice will signal
a less aggressive tone
When we are happy, we
generally smile when we
speak - people can hear it!
Use your smile as much as you can to help your speech
sound more pleasing to others!
Find the right theme for your listeners
Structure your plan so that you can deliver on that theme persuasively
