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 feat 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 if 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!!!
