Give A Speech

Public speaking skills are an important piece of a successful career.  Those who can clearly and concisely share ideas with others always rise to the top.  Additionally, those who take the stage can carve out their position as a leader.

However, the ability to speak to an audience is a learned skill.  Too many business professionals feel they can "wing it" when they take the stage, and thus too many audiences are underwhelmed by the presentations they must sit through.

Agree to speak often inside your company and industry and devote the time to craft a well thought out speech that will have a lasting impact on your audience.

If speaking scares you, join a Toastmasters Club and actively participate for one year.
