What are the three C's for girls?

From that research, three lines of thought emerged, which are at the core of Confident Speaking for Women. We call them the “3 Cs” of powerful communication: Be Clear, Be Confident and Be Courageous.

Here are the 3 Cs in brief:

BE CLEAR

Clean: Don’t use “filler” words; rather, use clear, precise language.

Concise: Get to the point, and know how much detail to use.

Prepared: Make sure your message is backed by data. Use language of certainty.

BE CONFIDENT

Vocal strength: Speak at a slower pace, don’t use “up-talk” (when your statements sound like questions), and use language of certainty and intention.

Appearance: The visual message matters (be professional!).

BE COURAGEOUS

Connect: Build your own board of directors and a mentor network.

Stretch: Get out of your comfort zone.

Speaking of women learning from women and the 3 Cs in practice, PowerSpeaking celebrated International Women’s Day last month (March 8) in two ways. First, in our last blog, Women, Make a Powerful Entrance, we asked readers for examples of how they’ve learned to make a strong entrance. Referring to the powerful technique of introducing yourself when you enter a meeting, Carol L. Collins-Carriveau, Pharm.D., MAEd, Sr. Director, Medical Scientists Inflammatory Diseases, Gilead Sciences shared this: “I learned this technique last year when I attended a Confident Speaking for Women seminar—it really does work. It also helps to instill confidence in yourself. In addition to introducing myself when I enter a meeting, I also have a prepared statement as to what value I bring to my organization. I used it twice this year—once with an executive vice-president and once with our CEO. They were impressed and engaged me in a deeper conversation. I never would have approached our CEO if I did not have confidence in myself and know that I bring value.” Second, we made a call on LinkedIn for “hero stories.” We asked people to tell us about a woman who was a mentor or an inspiration through her confidence and courage. Here’s one response, from Rachel Ben Hamou, Director of Talent Development at PeopleStorming: “My confident hero is a friend who dealt with crippling health issues, lost her career in finance because of it, and now has thrown herself into advocating for others, participated in research programs with doctors, and co-written a book. She reinvented her life with what she was given.” We were, as we always are, moved by stories of women like these. As a final note, we’d like to share more inspiration and wisdom with you by way of our free white paper, Circles of Light: Women’s Wisdom, in which the female leaders we interviewed give more rich advice on the 3 Cs, and more.

What is the triangle of death knife safety?

Take care to get a firm grip

When it concerns bushcraft or wood work your basic grip would be the simple hammer grip. Just imagine you are holding a hammer: simply put your fist around the handle, without any fingers sticking out. That is also how you hold your knife when it concerns outdoor use and bushcraft. In the basis you don’t place your thumb or index finger on the spine of the blade, unless you are carrying out a specific cutting technique for which it is necessary. With this fist grip you ensure that you won’t easily slip and end up on the edge. Teach yourself to always use this as a starting point. For some cutting techniques you can also use the reversed hammer grip. Exactly the same, but with the edge pointed up.

Move the targeted object, not the knife

When you are working with wood it is always wise to move the wood instead of the knife. There are different handles and techniques that will enable you to keep the knife still and only move the targeted object alongside the edge. When you hear this for the first time you might think that we go a little too far when it comes to our advices. However, when you trust survival and bushcraft instructors with years of experience you will know that this is the best way. As soon as you have gotten the hang of it you will understand that that is the way to control the cutting movement. Because you don’t move the knife you won’t risk slipping. The only thing that could slip is the piece of wood. However, rather a piece of wood that is flying around than a sharp knife.
