Speaking skills
2 of 10
When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice
before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look
for speaking skills in job applications, which may have to give presentations
to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to
practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.
According to the book of lists, the fear of public speaking
ranks number one in minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of
death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner
noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.
“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American
experiencing a dramatic fear of it” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for
the study of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
“People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students
have dropped classes because of it.”
Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great
deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a
meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workings or
just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you
can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligent.
Choose the right.
