A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes mejorar tus habilidades para hablar en público incorporando tecnología.

One of my favorite "visual aids" for quite some time now has been the Logitech Spotlight Remote. It allows you to shine a virtual spotlight (and magnifying glass!) via software, which means that it also shows up on Zoom/webinars, as well as on all monitors in a room where your presentation is being projected onto multiple screens. It's an easy way to graphically differentiate and show an audience something a little bit different.

English news channels, English web series, online free webinars and some free courses on platforms like udemy, Coursera etc are one of the best ways to improve understanding skills. Remember one thing good listener is always a good speaker.

Public speaking is a skill which can be improved upon by regularly working on it. Technology can help in many ways: 1) While presenting, you can use effective ppts, add small videos relevant to the topic, audio clips to make the presentation more interesting. 2) While online or in webinars, you can create polls to have real time engagement with audience. 3) Use good quality of webcam and mic to loos good and to sound good. 4) While practicing, you can record yourself for future improvements. Just ask the friends and mentors as to what are the areas you need to improve. 5) While addressing through webinars, make sure to look at the camera.

Visual aids. That's exactly what they are...mere aids to help you create a visual representation of your speech. While slides, video, graphics all play a supplementary role, avoid a case of letting the tail wag the dog. Remember: YOU are the presenter, not the visual aids. That said, spend time & energy on: 1. how YOU should speak which enhances your delivery of the presentation - impactful, thugs at the hearts of your audience, meaningful, they resonate with your messages. 2. how YOU mustn't lose a moment of audience engagement. Their span of attention is less than 8.25 minutes. Think of how YOU can extend this to cover your entire speech duration. 3. how to be independent of visual aids. Get the audience to look at you, not at the slides.

Tools like PowerPoint, Prezi, or Canva allow you to create visually appealing slides that can help illustrate your points, making your speech more engaging and easier to follow.

Using some real-time polling tools like Mentimeter or Slido allows you to interact with your audience, gather instant feedback, and make your presentation more interactive.

I am a big advocate of being receptive for feedback and using technology for the same is a big game changer. I have been using the following and I recommend them for their ease of use & the fantastic GUI: - Google Forms - SurveyMonkey - Typeform - Microsoft Forms - Qualtrics - SurveySparrow - JotForm - Mentimeter We all must embrace technology, start today!
