365 Exciting ways to live

20 / 365  Learn Public Speaking

It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
Mark Twain

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!
(From my book “365 Exciting Ways to Live”)
'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....
