It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu
speech.
Public Speaking is
an important skill to be developed. Many
people are afraid of public speaking next only to death! As you go up in your
life, you will have many occasions to make presentations to convince people. In
some functional areas such as marketing and customer service, this presentation
skill assumes a very important dimension in career growth.
Many of us honestly
believe that speaking is a natural skill, since we have been speaking right
from the time we are born. For many of us it may not be true. Public Speaking
is an art. Like you learnt cycling and typing, you can also learn to be a good
public speaker.
Here’s another simple
exercise. Deliver a ‘one-minute speech’ to a tape recorder and listen to your
own voice and evaluate. Recall your role model, who is a good public speaker
and visualise how he will deliver the same speech. Try this exercise at
periodic intervals and make continuous improvement. Watch your presentation
skill growing!
Start today!

'365 Exciting Ways to Live' is an ideal gift for any special occasion and a good reading material for supervisory development. You can also gift this book to the school or college you studied.... |
