How to reduce your credibility robbers

Hi, it was great working with you on the Core Skills Programme.

I hope you got a couple of tips to improve your presence and impact. 

The first and most crucial step towards being more impactful in your communication is to become aware of your credibility robbers.

This page contains your 90-second introduction recording. Use the scroll function to find it quickly. 

Watch it several times to get the most amount of observational feedback from your video recording.

Especially observe the first seven seconds, both with and without sound. 

Here are the steps: 

1. Observe: 

  • Pauses (pace of speech & non-words). 
  • Resting hands (truth and trust plane/steeple)—gestures (Palm flash/ palms down).
  • Eye connection (one thought > one person). 
  • Stance - Face (smile). Feet (both planted and pointing to the audience). Posture (height and space). Head (balanced).  

2. Once you have observed yourself, pick something to "dail-up" in each interaction over the next week. 

3. At the end of the week, pick an internal (safe) meeting and ask a colleague to video you for 90 seconds using your mobile device. This can be done discreetly. 

4. Watch the video and score yourself 1-5 for the non-verbal you are improving.  

5. Rinse and repeat.
