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!!
