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 presentation 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 List, 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.
