Its amazing what what good public speaking skills can do for your career. You could be the most unproductive person in an organization and still have a successful career if you have powerful communication skills!

Nice suggestions!!! I am very sure that I can benefit from most of them. This also reminds me of where I went wrong in few of my basics. Will definitely practice most of them to go places. Thanks Monica

Great ideas! You are always working for yourself even if you are working for someone else at the moment. These ideas help polish your skills and I bet if you follow them you will be rewarded. (whether it be monetarily or improving your self confidence!)

One thing that I would like to add – No matter how busy you are, always find time to read. Reading the newspaper before starting your work for the day could perk you up. In addition, reading can keep you updated about the latest in your field and about other related fields.

Lots of great pointers, I feel too many people nowadays struggle to even get the basics right. I would also add punctuality to the list; I hate people that are late on a regular basis.

I’m not sure most people have time to take a shower in the office bathroom sink. That’s a little weird…

Doesn’t this leave out the most important one? Namely, work hard at doing your job better? Until you do that – for which there is no 15 step plan – the rest is not bad, but a bit beside the point.

Great pointers, here. Thanks for these. I find that you don’t really need a hand-written note, but a good e-mail or even typed out letter (one that’s honestly written) is actually a great idea. I like to do this, especially because I’m REALLY thankful for a lot of the things people have done for me, and how many have advised me. I’ve taken the plunge and started my own business; something I’d recommend!! When the right time comes, of course. But you have some great pointers here, even for me (and, I wish I did a lot of these things when I was working for someone else!)

I just don’t agree with the don’t waste your time reading PerezHilton. Even that Im not his fan, I still see as important for a profesional to have some easy talk ready to go. – kevin devoto

Talking about public speaking,

I believe one of the best examples is Steve Jobs, Apple CEO. Look him on Youtube and try to catch on some of his presentation skills.

This is all great advice. I especially like the advice about not wasting time with gossip blogs and such. You’d be surprised how much of a time waster that is!
