Public Speaking

When was the last time you were inspired? When you heard someone speak with such passion and conviction that you were persuaded to join that person’s company or organization? That is the power of public speaking.

We can be passionate about many things: promoting economic growth, creating a world-class product, reducing hunger, or eliminating poverty.  And we have more tools than ever to promote our passions: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and email allow us to take our ideas and spread them far and wide. But digital communication can only go so far without a human face, without a human voice. Our voice matters.

Communication is one of our most basic human needs, always expected yet rarely taught. Look at any job posting and you’ll see “outstanding communication skills” listed as a requirement. While some people might be natural communicators, all of us can learn to find our voice and become great communicators.

Becoming a good public speaker will help you give an effective speech or presentation. But it will also help you speak with confidence and conviction in any situation: in a job interview, in a negotiation, in a packed auditorium, or in front of a TV camera. It will improve your self-confidence, your interviewing skills, and your leadership ability.
