“An act or process of coming together as an assembly for a common

5. Role of the meetings
 Meetings play a very important role in the life of an organization
whether its is formal or informal.
 A well-organized ,well-aimed and well-led meeting can be
extremely effective in different contexts
 Brainstorming: free exchanges with a view to generating new
approaches and ideas

6. The structure of the meetings
There is a chairperson . Or at least an organizer, who guides the pro
ceedings of the meeting and aims to maintain order.
There is often a sequence of business or speeches to express point of
view .
The purpose of meeting is achieved by reaching some decision or ex
pression of opinion at the end of the discussion.

7. Qualities of effective speaking
 Resourceful.
Keeps up with knowledge.
 Has a way with words
 Humorous.
 Confident.
 Steady rhythm and voice tone

8. Resourceful.
A public speaker cannot merely rely on his or her personal
knowledge or experiences. Knowing where to acquire new
information and how to get it so that you can relay them to
your audience easily is one quality of an excellent public speaker.
The preparation a good speaker makes only focus on his speech.
Knowing an audience’s interests and level of knowledge is also a
part of his resourcefulness.

9. Keeps up with knowledge.
A very good public speaker is always thirsty for new
information. You should be constantly reading, attending
seminars or doing any other kind of activities that would
enrich your knowledge.

10. Humorous.
Oftentimes, it’s the sense of humor of the speaker that makes his
or her speech a easier to comprehend and remember.
Incorporating a few jokes that would tickle your audience can very
well assist you in conveying the message of your speech more
effectively. No one likes a boring speaker.

11. Confident
Who would enjoy listening to a stutterer giving a speech?
When you are in front of an audience, you need to appear
confident . NEVER admit to your audience that you are feeling
nervous.
Simply smile and relax and deliver your speech.
Remember that the audience sees you as the expert in what you ar
e speaking on. Knowing this can give you the confidence to speak
from a position of authority.

12. Has a way with words.
A public speaker cannot be effective if he or she has a very limited
vocabulary. But it’s not the wide array of high-sounding terms that
makes a speech effective. You need to know how to use “moving”
words. “Moving” words are those that touch a certain segment of
people, e.g. the term “jerks” means something negative for
teenagers.

your boss and also your co-workers. Office etiquette includes
everything from the proper way to use email to knowing when,
where, and how to use your cell phone while at work.

17. Face Up to Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake at work, which everyone inevitably
does at some point, face up to it. Don't ignore your error or place
the blame on others. Take responsibility and come up with a
solution to fix your mistake. Your boss may not be too happy about
it, but she will at least be impressed with your response.

18. Know What Topics to Avoid Discussing
Avoiding inappropriate topics may not help you make a good
impression at work but it will keep you from making a bad one.
Subjects that do not make for good workplace conversation
include politics, religion, and health problems and other personal
issues.

19. Manage Your Time Effectively
Your ability to complete projects in a timely manner will help you
make a good impression on your boss. You should demonstrate
that you know how to manage your time effectively by handing in
projects when, or even before, your deadline.

20. Avoid Offending Your Co-Workers
Make a good impression or avoid making a bad one by not doing
things that offend your co-workers. Always show respect towards
your co-workers. The last thing a boss wants brought to his attent
ion are the uncivil actions of one of his employees.

21. Which companies present best to you?
Observe the companies and individuals who impress you on first
meeting. If it is an email or letter, what captures your attention?
If it works for you, it will probably work for others. It is usually
not fancy stationery but the manner in which you present yourself
and your message.

22. Teleconferencing
Because of the ever-increasing costs of travel, meals, and lodging,
increasing numbers of business people are electing to attend
meetings and conferences through the electronic medium of
teleconferencing.

opposite of good enunciation is mumbling or slurring. And the
pronunciation is a component of enunciation.

and intonation of a word in a spoken language. A word can be
spoken in different ways by various individuals or groups, dependin
g on many factors, such as: the area in which they grew up.
