Speaking Skills
2 of 10
When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice
before dismissing it as unimportant part of your education. Employers look for
speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients
ore represent their 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 the 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 Anxiety Disorders (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 on the
ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting,
selling product, making a presentation,
motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get
far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.
