The Power of Public Speaking

 



Nothing spells success more in the workplace and in life than the power of public speaking. Those who can eloquently get their message across in front of an audience in a way that is impactful and memorable stand to achieve goals that are professional and personally satisfying.
According to Warren Buffet, business magnate, investor, philanthropist and one of the top billionaires in the world, good public speaking skills are a key asset and necessary skill that will easily last your entire lifetime. A discomfort with it, he says, can be a profound liability. The PR Certificate course, "Public Speaking and Networking for the PR Professional," sets you up for success.

How You Communicate Can Make All the Difference

Solid public speaking skills can benefit your life in the following ways:

• Increase your self-confidence. Your self-esteem gets an immediate bump when you get positive feedback from our communication with others.
