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 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 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 communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if
you can speak persuasively, smoothly, and intelligently.
Choose The Right!
