Speaking Skills
2 to 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!!!
