IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC SPEAKING - PART 2
5. Builds your confidence
As you
begin improving your professional speaking skills and take on different types
of public speaking events, either big or small, you’ll start to build your
confidence. It may be terrifying at first, but with every victory comes a
feeling of relief and accomplishment. Relief that it’s over, and then
accomplishment once you start to receive positive feedback from your peers and
audience. Every small victory will further bolster your confidence.
6. Improve your oral communication skills
Participating
in public speaking can increase your oral communication skills because you're
rehearsing and presenting information to people, whether it's a small or large
audience. Colleagues, moderators or audience members can give you feedback on
how to improve your oral skills for your next public speaking event. The more
you present speeches, the more you may improve your speaking skills. You may
also find that your improved oral skills transfer into your everyday
conversations with others.
7. Ability to inform, persuade, and direct.
Business
managers, educators, military leaders, lawyers, and politicians, among others,
seek to develop their speaking skills to such a level that they are transformed
into master communicators. Speaking clearly and confidently can gain the
attention of an audience, providing the golden opportunity for the speaker to
make the message known. Wise is the speaker who gains and then holds the
attention of an audience, with well-chosen words in a well-delivered
presentation, forming a message that is effective, informative, and understood.
8. Represent your organization
Doing
public speaking for your company can allow you to represent your organization
and share its mission and goals. It can also help you improve your marketing
skills and increase your confidence in your delivery and sales. Your speeches
may help potential customers learn what the organization can provide them with,
such as products and services, which might help the company generate more
sales.
9. Ability to stand out from the rest.
When one thinks of speaking skills, one tends to think of it as a common skill. Think again. The ability to stand before others and speak effectively is not an ordinary ability. Many people are deathly afraid of public speaking; others have little ability to form thoughts into sentences and then deliver those words in a believable way. The bad news is that at any given moment the world has precious few with the speaking talents of, say, Winston Churchill or John F. Kennedy. The good news is that a speaker whose skills are honed and developed with constant application and hard work can stand out.
