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 show a 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 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 wiener noted author and public speaker
wants to help people overcome that fear.
“The biggest
fear is public speaking, with 15% of American experiencing a dramatic fear of
it,“ said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorder
(LSAD) in the department of phycology at the university of Texas at Austin. “People
have to turn down jobs, and certainly student 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
