Presentations/ Public Speaking Skills
Green Light: Let’s Get Going
1. When it comes to presentation and public speaking skills, make sure you’re having a conversation specific to those expectations as it relates to their job role. 2. Create two columns on a whiteboard and on the right column ask the person(s) being coached to identify what the ideal successful presentation looks like and how public speaking skills will promote that presentation and expectation. Feel free to add in your own thoughts and attributes as well. 3. Once this is done, go to the left side of the board and ask the person to write out the specific things they do well and the specific areas they need to improve specific to public speaking skills that will promote the expectation of successful presentations on the right side of the board.
Yellow Light: Needs Attention
1. When it comes to public speaking, practice is key. If someone is lacking public speaking skills, in the early stages of coaching the key is to reward their effort to practice as much as possible. 2. Facilitate practice sessions with yourself and peers accelerating the cadence of practice which will lead to better skills, both in practicing and presentations. 3. Ask the person(s) you are coaching to create a journal of their progress specific to their public speaking skills and where they need help. The journaling should be reviewed along with scheduled practice sessions on a regular basis specifically weekly to biweekly sessions.
