Three things to do and three things to avoid when speaking impromptu.

 　　In impromptu speeches, a slight misstep can sometimes lead to a failed presentation. There are three important things to keep in mind for impromptu speeches in the workplace:

　　1. Don't hurt others: This means that what you intend to say might inadvertently offend someone.

　　For example, saying something inappropriate due to the occasion.

　　To avoid hurting others in impromptu speeches, pay attention to three aspects: don't say things that don't fit the atmosphere; don't force ridicule on others; and avoid sensitive topics that others don't want to discuss. Instead, be mindful of the occasion and considerate of others' feelings.

　　2. Don't boast: This means that sometimes a joke can become annoying.

　　For example, many people believe that having real ability is what makes others enjoy listening to them. Therefore, many people like to talk about their education, titles, and success stories. However, when you bring this up, the pleasant atmosphere instantly becomes awkward because you are elevating yourself while belittling others.

　　The best approach is to learn self-deprecation in public, making others more willing to listen to you.

　　3. Don't criticize: Constantly criticizing others' mistakes implies that you are the only one who is right.

　　Some people like to directly express opinions contrary to those of others and enjoy criticizing them; this indicates a lack of impromptu speaking skills. In interpersonal communication, any seemingly correct viewpoint can be wrong from another perspective.

　　When you want to refute someone, simply use a transitional phrase like, "I think what you said is quite good. If we look at it from another angle..." and others will understand your point.

　　The purpose of impromptu speaking in the workplace is "mutual understanding and mutual promotion," not simply to speak fluently and incessantly. Therefore, always remember three things to avoid: don't hurt others, don't boast, and don't criticize others. Instead, be considerate of others' feelings, use self-deprecation, and use transitional phrases when you want to disagree with someone's viewpoint.
