    策劃:劉燏
    特邀主講:Ian
    現(xiàn)代白領(lǐng)面對與日俱增的競爭壓力,開始更加關(guān)注個人的充電計劃。而英語的培訓(xùn)無疑是如今熱的培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目之一。其中,英語口語類的培訓(xùn)以及與白領(lǐng)工作息息相關(guān)的商務(wù)類英語培訓(xùn)尤其受到關(guān)注。
    演講技巧
    此部分主要針對演講前的策劃準(zhǔn)備、演講技巧、特定的演講用語、如何應(yīng)對棘手的問題等內(nèi)容展開。在談到演講技巧的問題時,特別提醒:在演講時你必須明確你的觀眾是誰,你要對他們演說的目的是信息的平等傳達(dá)呢,還是權(quán)威性的說服。不同技巧的選擇,將會帶來不同的結(jié)果。在談到如何處理棘手的問題時,以下一些并不理想的回答:“I don’t know/Hmmm…er, now let me think…/That’s a stupid question!/How should I know?”。從而,引出較為理想的回答應(yīng)該是:“That’s a good question…/I think I would like to make further discussion with you after the meeting…”。

    商務(wù)談判

    會員提問
    問:當(dāng)我在講演時緊張怎么辦?
    答:來一瓶伏特加吧?。ㄈ珗鲂Γ┢鋵?shí),充分的準(zhǔn)備會是克服緊張的一個重要因素。如果你在演講前做好充分的準(zhǔn)備工作,比如準(zhǔn)備一張檢查清單,上面列滿所有你要演講的主要環(huán)節(jié),必須提到的要點(diǎn)。清楚地將你要講演的內(nèi)容按某種特定的框架結(jié)構(gòu)顯示出來,只要記住這個結(jié)構(gòu),那么整個的演講就會邏輯清楚,即使遺漏一些細(xì)節(jié),也會顯得無足輕重。
    問:如果在演講時,有人提出我無法回答的問題怎么辦?
    答:首先,你得保持鎮(zhèn)定,并且盡量忽略這個問題。然后,技術(shù)性地運(yùn)用“這是一個很好的問題”“如果你不介意的話,我想在會后與你溝通這個問題”等話,目的是為了轉(zhuǎn)移問題,將被動轉(zhuǎn)為主動。一定不能在被問的當(dāng)時冷場,頭腦里需要始終準(zhǔn)備好一句可以應(yīng)付任何問題的回答。
