Speaking Skills
2 out 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 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!!!
