In every aspect of our life, a good personality holds a very important value. Whether you are a budding professional, an established career person, or perhaps a home-maker, it is something that will help you develop and maintain solid relationships with others.

One of the key facets of personality development is speech. This is the ability of a person to effectively communicate verbally. Some people are gifted with verbal communication skills, while others are simply to shy and unsure of their abilities to even want to try. Speech is important in so many ways; be it at home, at school, or at the workplace, you need to be able to articulate well the thoughts and ideas you have.

In personality development, the importance of speech is summed up into two: perception, and expression.

Gaining Positive Perception from Others

Human as we are, we often judge others by what we see. We easily have our own perception on what is going on around us. In the same way, our perception of others can be influenced by the way they speak and the message they are trying to relay. This is one of the reasons why speech is very important in personality development.

You see, if we are careful with our speech, whether formal or informal, we can gain a positive perception from our peers, colleagues, and our superiors. If we are fond of using negative words, for example, people will tend to think that we have a bad personality. On the other hand, if we talk with grace, finesse, and confidence, then it is common for others to perceive us as someone with a pleasing personality.

Putting Into Words Our Thoughts and Ideas through Oral Expression

It is, without doubt, very difficult to improve our personality if we cannot even verbalize what it is we want to say. If we hesitate to speak on fear of being misjudged by others, if we are too shy and scared to open our mouth in a gathering, it will really be difficult for us to develop our personality.

Part of our development is derived from what we learn from others, but if we have poor oral communication skills and refuse to do something about it, then we are blocking the doors for growth. Being able to express ourselves through speech is essential to build relationships with people, but if we keep on holding back and decline any opportunity to improve, then nothing good will ever come out of it.

Tips to Improve Your Speech Communication Skills

First of all, you should be confident about yourself. You need to believe that you are capable of verbally expressing yourself. Secondly, use polite speech and body language. Now this is something other people miss out on; the words you use and the actions you make will show the type of person you are so this is something you should be careful of. Thirdly, modulate your voice and do not speak too fast or too slow. Voice quality, along with body language and content, always plays a very crucial role on how people will perceive you when you speak.

Personality development is a broad field, and in order for you to have a pleasing personality, it is important to address all aspects related to it. Speech is one of the many areas that should be given sufficient attention, because without it, people’s perception of you and your ability to express yourself would be deeply affected. By following the tips mentioned above, you could master the art of speaking, and at the same time, develop an admirable personality.
