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 want
to help people overcome that fear.
“The biggest fear is
public speaking…with 15 percent of Americans experiencing a dramatic fear of
it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorder
(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 to others, you’ll get
far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly, and intelligently.
Choose The Right!!!
