Speaking
Skills

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 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 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!!
