Do you get nervous when you have to give a presentation in front of a class or for an organization you are involved in? Have you had the opportunity to present at a conference and wondered how others perceived you? Even the thought of this makes many people quite anxious. Yet, oral presentation skills will likely be required of you as you are on your professional career path. You may need to think about how to engage a particular audience or how to articulate your research or points in a way that is meaningful to your audience. To get or maintain a position, you may have to carefully promote yourself or market a product. As such, having oral presentation skills could be important to your professional development in a variety of ways. So, how are your skills? Take this quiz designed by my student, Hao-Cheng Hsu, an undergraduate at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The Power of a Handshake

The Power of a Handshake by   Lisa Brooks   on   August 13, 2013   What does your handshake say about you? Does it convey that you are confident and self-assured? Or, does it suggest that you are insecure, an emotional bully, or overconfident? Research shows that not only will you be judged by your handshake, you will be forming an impression about the other person when shaking hands. During my etiquette training at the Protocol School of Washington, I was taught to see the right hand as a sensor for discovering the type of person with whom I was dealing. Once you understand the subtle messages of a handshake and learn how to deliver the correct handshake, you will have a significant advantage in mastering your professional image. This article provides guidelines for delivering the correct handshake, as well as it will help you interpret (and avoid) some of the most common types of undesirable handshakes, such as the “dead fish,” the “fingertip holder,” the”glo...

Find a Mentor: Think Out of the Box by   Kimi Crossman   on   July 31, 2013 Still feeling hesitant about identifying a mentor, despite Dr. Sherwood’s encouragement (see  What is a Mentor, and How Do I Find One )? Chew on this statistic: “Professionals who have mentors make between $5,610 and $22, 450 more annually than those on their own.” Thus, having a mentor will not only help you develop your professional identity, but it can also improve your chances of landing that higher-salary job. An advantage of our technological era is that your potential mentor doesn’t have to be within your immediate circle of friends, colleagues, professors, or employers.

What are You Looking At?: The Importance of Balanced Eye Contact by   Jill Bowers   on   July 22, 2013   What are you looking at?! Hopefully ME if you are talking to me.   But what if I’m judging you? What am I thinking about you? Do I make you nervous when I’m staring back at you? For these reasons, maintaining eye contact can be tough.   Yet, in many cultures and settings (i.e., in the United States), eye contact can help you to convey that you are trustworthy, respectful, and sincere. Eye contact can help you to influence others or establish an emotional connection.  It allows you to give some feedback to the individual you are interacting with, and it provides opportunities for you to see if they are understanding the meaning of the message you are trying to relay. Thus,   maintaining balanced eye contact can be critical to your accomplishments in personal and professional relationships. But what is meaningful, balanced eye con...
