How to use Good Communication Skills in Student Organizations.
from: Speak For Yourself - by Larry G Foxe
As a student, you often wonder why you have to take communication and public speaking classes, but in the real sense, such classes are meant to teach us how to develop our communication skills. These classes prepare you in real life scenarios where you interact with professors, students, departments head, the outside world, and different types of people in different setting and situation.
One instance where you need to have a good communication skill is when you are running for college election in the students' organization. Student are required to elect their leaders who will effectively manage the who student body to achieve the goals and objectives they have set. Student representatives formed a party and held election campaigns. Here, the nominated students must posses an excellent public speaking.
Your appointment as a student leader is one where you have to practice and develop your communication skills. As a nominee for any position, you may be invited to give speeches on how you would lead the organization, your plans and how you will carry them out effectively. This will require you to speak to a large number of students.
Preparing for your speech is one of the better ways to improve or present yourself that you have a good communication skill. To do this, you can make a rough draft of what you plan to say. Write it down on a sheet of paper with short headings.
Getting on the stage, compose yourself and smile to the public, organize your thoughts in your mind, so that you convey your message properly. Since it is a campaign, you would have to lay down all your plans to influence and attract good audience, you have to be very confident and enthusiastic about the elections.
Send your message across the whole audience in a clear, concise and understandable voice tone. It is the nature of the speaker to be very firm and decisive in his wants and the message he wants to convey. This should be your speaking style. Speak in such a way that you must let your audience know your point and show to them that you are determined to implement changes and give a good impression that you can be an effective leader.
Making friends is another story. ..
When making friends and mingling with other students in social gatherings, it is effective that you have good communication skills, this provides a good way for you to meet people and establish contacts. As part of a student's life, communication skills go a long way because networking is highly important. Meeting different people in colleges exposes the student to different life styles which enables him to network freely.
Another instance where communication skills can be developed in a student life is the typical classroom. In lectures, the professor connects with the students. It is your job then to listener and be attentive in giving your full attention to the professor. This way, you can expect a healthy interaction with your professor the moment he solicits for your opinion or views.
To stimulate effective communication skills between you and your professor, look at him and maintain eye contact, make nods when he is trying to get your response on the discussion such as when he says, "You get me?" , ask open ended questions when you do not understand what he is saying.
