Communication based on my personal experience

What's communication? Are we only communicating when we talk? It's the most common way of thinking, but it's not the correct one. Actually we live in a time we are constantly communicating to each others, first of all we used to talk with an average of six people per day, nevertheless we are continually connected with our smartphone and we are using apps like whatsapp, snapchat, Line... where we talk with people on the same wavelength. On the other hand these apps, which have developed the fast communication, have a big problem when we want to express our ideas to people who don't have your same age o your same way of thinking. This will be the way of my speech, try to solve this difference through my personal experience.

Every day, in my job, I have to put on practice the process of communication. I work as a guide of an exhibition and I have to know how to communicate the same things to a group of senior citizens as a group of children and the most difficult thing, I have to maintain their attention during all the visit. Sounds it difficult? It isn't really. I'll give you some advices. You only have to know how to communicate with each group. Firstly you have to choose very good your words, there are some of them that could be difficult of understand; secondly you should organise your ideas clearly, if you don't probably you loose the half of the group on a few time, it's important to follow a link on your speech and you can't jump every time from the start to the end. The last part is the most complicated from my point of view, make them to participate. The best mode to catch the attention of the audience is making questions that include them on the speech. By the time you can combine all this skills and you can play with them, you will be prepare for being a good speaker. However I have to say that a good smile and a few anecdotes are a good help too.

To finish I would like to share with you a book of my favourite artist, Salvador Dalí, called Journal d'un Génie in which he talks about his special ability as speaker and his funny tricks for maintain the calm in front of the audience.
