Powerful Presentation Skills.
And I was so nervous I couldn’t talk – not a word. My voice shook and my hands shook and I was barely able to apologize. I was paralyzed. After about 5 minutes, they let me leave. Still to this day, I am embarrassed when I think about it. A group of 5 women sitting around a table, a topic I knew inside and out, and I was struck dumb-(Gottlieb, 2004).
How to keep your audience interested :
-eye contact
-body language
-show you are happy to be there
-move around/avoid using podium
-show your audience what you tell them
-if using flip charts, use two
-present info instead of reading notes
-use visual aids
-vary your activities and modes
-get audience involved
-be a good listener
-be yourself
p/s:when it comes to make the first impression, body language as well as appearance speaks much louder than words.
Business Proposals.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea on how to write a business proposal at first. Yes, the request for proposal (RFP) must come to be fulfilled. Writing to win and red teaming your proposal. The SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis could be done as a rocket pick presentation. The elevator pitch must be good enough in order to get the golden nugget.
Effective Resume & Cover Letter.
There are about 45 seconds for the interviewee to look through your resume. So, use the resume to market yourself for the employment.
p/s:knowing what you can do is one thing, knowing what you want is another.
Conducting Effective Meeting.
The topic reference:
Lawton, P., Rigby, E. R., & Hall, L. (1985), Meetings – Their Law and Practice, London:
MacDonald and Evans. Should I spend for the book, lol? By the way, secretary is a person who are standing in the corridor of the power due to the most resourceful person in the meeting and for sure the company secretary is difference from the personal secretary in terms of their duty scope.
The Art of Public Speaking.
Listen carefully and quickly think if you want to be a good public speaker. Thanks a lot Mr. Hisham Karim and Miss Hanani Ahmad for the briefing.
p/s:money is a good servant but terrible master.

Communication Concept and Skills.
And lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the bass-Surah Luqman:19.
The barriers:
-slang
-difficult languages
-tone and expression
-voice
-gender/status
p/s:to be a best, follow the best.
