Communicating effectively and sincerely opens the door to understanding...allowing people to trust the person in charge and want to follow his or her lead. This is a skill, which for some comes naturally but for most needs to be acquired; and can be mastered using the techniques in the book, "The Leader’s Guide to Speaking with Presence” by author John Baldoni.
To lead and to get people on-board with you and your ideas, you want people to feel comfortable when you are speaking. You want them to pull close to you so they see what kind of a presenter you are.
When you seek to put others at ease, you are taking control of the situation. You are demonstrating a sense of confidence, and when you are feeling confident, you will feel a greater sense of control. Thereby, you will adopt another persona: ownership of the message. You become the expert and you want to share your expertise with others.
