Let’s get right to right to the heart of the matter - there is only one truly compelling reason to take a public speaking class… it flat out it works.
Public speaking has an unfair rep as a life-sucking experience that leaves you wishing you were the one in the casket instead of the one delivering the eulogy. (Okay not my joke, Jerry Seinfeld’s.)
The thing is, public speaking is tragically misunderstood and feared leaving most of us just praying we don’t have to bump into it. We believe at some deep level that we have to be BIGGER& BETTER than ourselves to stand up and talk, and this is simply not true!
Conventional thinking and teaching of public speaking often misses the most important mark which is we already have the skills inside us and we really don’t need to become some fake feeling other person.
Public Speaking pulls from our most used and most effective CORE communication skills; organization, thinking on our feet, letting go of distracting thoughts, and paying genuine attention to whom we’re speaking with is what we need to do every single day – for real relationships… REAL COMMUNICATION.
This is possible and within your reach… and here’s the kicker – when you’re stronger at your core, you’re just plain stronger overall.
