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 application, which may have to give 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 List, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the mind of 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
experience 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 communication 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, smooth and intelligently.
