Public Speaking: Who needs it?
Public Speaking skills are the most valuable assets one can have today in the working world. Effective communication makes the world go round. Nothing can be accomplished without it. Public speaking allows one to persuade many people at the same time, which is much more convenient than speaking to each person individually, and takes much less time, as well as less expense. Public Speaking skills will benefit someone in almost any line of work.
In education, for example, teachers with good speaking skills can instruct students more completely and effectively.
In business, managers can hold more productive meetings, resulting in more productive workers.
Even in customer service, where the audience is usually only one or two callers on the phone at the same time, speaking proficiency makes one more efficient, getting the objective accomplished in less time, allowing for more calls to be completed in a given interval.
Can you think of any occupation which does not call for communication skills?
In fact, oral communication is always one of the top skills demanded by the employer.
The goal of any communication is for the message to be conveyed in such a manner that it will be received and understood accurately. A skilled speaker can see and hear the feedback from the customer and adjust the manner of delivery, while ensuring the delivery of an accurate message.
The benefits of effective communication skills:
1. self confidence
2. admiration from peers
3. ability to communicate your thoughts and ideas to others
4. new opportunities
5. career development
6. recognition
7. ability to lead others
8. captivate and entain your audience
9. Improve the quality of your life
How to develop these skills
In order to improve communication skills, it is necessary to practice. A very easy, economical way to do this is to join a Toast Masters Group, so that you can have the opportunity to speak on a variey of topices in a variety of formats. Toast Masters is a safe place where colleagues follow an established, tiered program with built in peer review at every step to progress in their communication skills.
Practice is very important, but what can you do if you are paralyzed with fear at the mere suggestion of standing and speaking in front of a group of people? They say that Public Speaking is the number one fear on the planet and the best way to eliminate this fear is with hypnosis.

Wishing you enlightenment, encouragement, and empowerment!
