Hello, Warriors! With the season of SSBs coming overhead, aspirants are preparing hard to get through it. For some, it might be their umpteenth attempt to clear the SSB and for some, it may be the first. But only the best make it through.

Being an officer is all about possessing the OLQs, of which, one is Ability to Influence – The Ability to Influence through words and speech. It’s the need of the officer commanding to have the public speaking skills to influence the fellow soldiers and lead them to victory; for, words may create peace and initiate war at the same time.

Here I bring you tips on how to approach to speaking in public:

Have a clear message to deliver. It is okay to say “I don’t know” instead of saying anything you really don’t know about.

Your message needs to be short, simple and clear.

Different people have different tastes. Before speaking something, know who your listeners are. Remember, most people like to listen to real examples rather than theories.

Use a stronger voice when it comes to important sentences. Use a lower slow voice when it comes to something sad.

Be natural and also keep in mind the cultural differences of the listeners.

It’s a good etiquette to look at everybody and not just one person.

Be flexible! Change your way of speaking, tell jokes which are related to the topic.

Be confident in expressing your ideas. People trust confident speakers.

Be up to date with the current national and international developments. You can always check that out on ssbcrack. We made this easier for you.

Good luck!
