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!
