Speaking Skills
2/10
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
applications that 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 minds of the majority of the 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 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 communicate one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you
can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.
