IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC SPEAKING - PART 1
1. Developing Critical Thinking Skills
One of
the very first benefits you will gain from your public speaking course is an
increased ability to think critically. Problem solving is one of many critical
thinking skills you will engage in during this course. For example, when
preparing a persuasive speech, you’ll have to think through real problems affecting
your campus, community, or the world and provide possible solutions to those
problems. You’ll also have to think about the positive and negative
consequences of your solutions and then communicate your ideas to others. At
first, it may seem easy to come up with solutions for a campus problem such as
a shortage of parking spaces: just build more spaces. But after thinking and
researching further you may find out that building costs, environmental impact
from loss of green space, maintenance needs, or limited locations for
additional spaces make this solution impractical.
2. To Win Over the Crowd
An
important skill to have in business and especially in the public relations
arena is the skill of persuasion or the ability to win over the crowd. Inside
and outside the workplace, the power of persuasion can carry you far and it all
starts by honing those public speaking skills. Mastering public speaking
results in an increase in confidence and with that, a cool and collected presence
in front of an audience. Of course it is imperative to be knowledgeable about
the subject you are presenting, but beyond that, when making a persuasive
speech of any kind, including a sales pitch to a client, you need to be
prepared to answer the opposition, and to speak with poise.
3. Ensures career advancement
Your
public speaking skills can help you get hired for a desirable job because it
shows your critical thinking abilities, creativity, leadership skills, and
professionalism. Also, speaking regularly at events and conferences can build
your credibility. You can even add public speaking at events and conferences as
an achievement on your resume. Using your public speaking abilities, you can
impress an employer during a job interview and give them confidence that you
can speak during meetings and promote their ideas.
4. Leadership Skills
Being a great public speaker goes hand in hand with developing leadership skills. Public speakers are often seen as leaders in their field. Their knowledge and expertise allow them to be thought leaders. Being a powerful leader and having a strong public speaking ability can also help you rise in the ranks of your organization or even scale your own business exponentially. Being a powerful leader and speaker will also improve your networking skills. Being able to communicate your message confidently and passionately will make others keener to listen and engage. Being confident in your approach can open doors for you that may have never been possible before.
