by Shubham Raheja manager

It is very important to have enough self-confidence at work. If you are not confident enough, you can't expect a promotion and you will continue to do the job that you hate. You need to speak up and show your creativity. You don't need to be afraid any more. With some good tactics, you can get your promotion and increase the quality of communication with your boss and other colleagues.

1. Try to be Direct

When you speak up against your boss, you should be direct. There is no need for you to speak about some trivial matter. You should just go straight to the point. If your boss makes some bad decisions, you should take some time to show your opinion. Nobody is perfect and your boss surely makes mistakes. If you show your opinion, your boss will know that you care about your company and that you are prepared to do all the necessary efforts to improve the business results.

2. Be Friend with Your Boss

You think that your boss is too high and that there is no way to become friend with him or her. You are wrong and you should know that your boss is a person just like you. You should try to communicate on the same level. The best occasion for this is during the social activities of your company. Every company organizes some social activities in order to improve relationships among their employees. This is the right time to make a friend to friend communication with your boss. If you are afraid to let your boss know about your ideas during a company meeting, this is the right time to say what you think.

3. Be Confident while Speaking Up Against Your Boss

You are afraid of some bad results and you think that your boss will fire you if you speak up against him or her. This is not true, expect in some cases when a boss is a real dictator and there is no way to speak up. Most of the modern companies have good structure and a boss is not the only authority in a company. You should not be afraid to speak up because it is your right to speak up. You cannot remain silent all the time. If you don't say anything, there is no way for you to improve your career.

When choosing the right public speaking class for you, stop for a moment and jot down on a piece of paper what your strengths and weaknesses are. Also, what areas of giving a speech do you need most work on?

Whatever it is that you need assistance with, make sure that the particular public speaking class you are checking out covers that area. Speak with the teacher, or read the online course description and see if it fits your personal needs.

Sometimes however, it can take a little bit longer if someone has a really intense fear of speaking in public. Anxiety can be uncontrollable and it is a very unpleasant experience for many. Some people have trouble sleeping days, weeks and even months before they have to give a speech.

You can surely make it and there is no need for you to hesitate any more. You should fight against injustice and you should get the job position that you deserve.
