Mauro Libi Crestani: Can a positive attitude help you with public speaking ?

You have been asked to give a speech. The idea of speaking in front of a group of people terrifies you.  The last time you spoke, your knees were shaking as well as your voice. You heard your voice echo in your own ears loudly and your audience were so quiet that you could hear s pin drop. You saw all their eyes on you and they were judging you.  You hated having to talk publicly and promised yourself that you would  never put yourself through that again. 

Now think, what got you so nervous? Oh, it was because your not a good speaker? Is that what it is? Somehow, you were a good enough speaker to get a spouse to marry you. Somehow, you are a good enough speaker to be able to talk to a customer and make the sale. Many of us are actually good speakers but when it comes to public speaking we allow our negative thought to take over and tell our self that we are not able to do it well. We get that negative feeling that our audience is judging us poorly. That they are not interested in what we have to say. 

Let's say for a minute, that we keep a positive attitude about the speech. After all we do know our topic well or they would not have asked us to speak. The people that asked you to speak obviously think that you would be more interesting than anyone else or they would have asked that other person. You have to believe what they believe that you know your topic well and that you are interesting. 

Now, you have no problem talking to your family and your friends and those are the people that really matter to your life. These people are strangers why should they get you nervous? They are a bunch of strangers who have enough confidence in you to be informative and entertaining. If these strangers believe in you, shouldn't you believe in yourself. ( Mauro Libi)

So be confident, believe that you can do this speech. Get up there and have a positive attitude about your abilities to master this talk. Get up there and talk loudly and with confidence and be informative, educational and funny. Mostly relax and enjoy it.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity.
