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 people. Far above
the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd.
Joel Wiener 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-one with others. You’ll get far better
results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently
