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 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 people overcome that fear.

"The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of Americans 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.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."

Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection: Based on the quote, life should be about the present. I believe Mr. Kiyosaki is trying to tell us to do things early, rather than later on in the future, simply because it's better to get things over them. I think his quote is inspiring, always do what's right especially before it's late. As long as you have all the time to do something, you should just go for it. You're going to do it anyway, right? Choose the right, never take your time on things that will be late.
