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
skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or
represent their organization on 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 on 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 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 with
others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly
and intelligently.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
