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 applicants, who 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 above
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 Anxiety Disorder (LSAD) in the department 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-workers, or
just communicate one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you
can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.
Choose the Right!!
