Suggestion 155. Practice communication skills in front of a mirror

IF YOU WANT TO:

• Vary the speed and tone of your voice

• Have a more interesting style of presentation

Practicing your lecture communication skills in front of a mirror.

This recommendation comes from a professor of zoology who was a champion debater in college. "Even today, I frequently rehearse my classroom lectures or research presentations in front of the mirror," he says. "Of course, you want to do this in private. It makes you very self-conscious at first, but I find it an excellent way to practice communication skills."
