Transcript of Iq work hacks round up
Over the past three months we have presented you with eight different Work Hacks:
Body Language Fight or Flight Productivity Power Dressing Verbal Communication Written CommunicationMotivation Presentations
Here is a roundup of our favourite tips to keep your skills fresh as we head into 2015!
Body Language
If you want to look friendly and genuine it is important to make sure that when you smile you “smile with your eyes”.
Fight or Flight
If you’re having a stressful day at work, try a relaxation technique.
Tighten each muscle group in turn, start with your toes and move your way up to your face, relaxing each muscle group after a few seconds.
Productivity
If you are really struggling to be productive, have a piece of chweing gum.
Research shows that the physical movement of ‘chewing’ can help to boost your mental performance.
Power dressing
Power Dressing refers to dressing in a way which shows confidence in your own ability,
Verbal Communication
Sentences can be perceived in many ways through the use of emphasising.
It is important to make sure if you want to put emphasis on something, that you do it in the correct way.
For example, the sentence, “I never said he stole my dog”.This can mean several different things...
Written Communication
First and foremost, whatever you are writing, make sure that it is all spelt right & is grammatically correct.
Motivation
Plan ahead and tell yourself that you will do something nice once you’ve finished a project.
Whether that is going out for lunch or buying yourself something new.
Knowing that you can treat yourself once you’ve completed a project can be all the motivation that you need.
Presentations
When people are nervous during presentations they tend to speed up in order to get them over with as soon as possible.
This will show the audience that you are nervous and they may not take you as serious as someone who oozes confidence.
All you need to do is take a deep breath, think about what you’re going to say and add pauses in between sentences.
Now that you are equipped with a wealth of knowledge to kick start your career or refresh your skills...
...you can progress into 2015 to have the best year of your career yet!
