Therefore, <strong>it is crucial to understand how to overcome these problems and know how to properly connect and interact with the audience<\/strong>, whether small or large.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Public speaking is a soft skill<\/strong>, directly <strong>linked to communication<\/strong>, which includes verbal and non-verbal. So, it is crucial to have a correct posture, look confident and enthusiastic, maintain eye contact, try not to make too many pauses or repeat ourselves too much, talk clearly with an appropriate tone and use proper language. Our <strong>speech also depends on our audience<\/strong> and assessing their needs and expectations is vital. Should we be very technical while speaking? Can we be funny? It all depends on who is in front of us and the subject, but we must <strong>always try to be ourselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, we must remember that<strong> the content of our presentation\/speech needs to be carefully examined and planned in advance<\/strong>, to be assertive and error-free. Also, <strong>if we use digital support<\/strong> while talking, we should <strong>not rely too much on it<\/strong> and make it <strong>aesthetically pleasing to the eye<\/strong>. This support should make our speech easier to understand and not monotonous.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we can imagine, developing this skill has many benefits. First, an <strong>interesting and structured speech can make people effectively understand and retain our ideas and points of view<\/strong>. Public speaking <strong>helps us advocate for causes and develop our persuasive skills<\/strong>.\u00a0 Preparing for a speech also <strong>improves our knowledge and vocabulary<\/strong>. All of this <strong>strengthens our work performance, self-confidence, personal satisfaction and enhances teamwork abilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is very normal to be nervous about speaking in public. However, what <strong>we must keep in mind is that we can overcome this \u201cfear\u201d and improve this skill<\/strong>. To do so, it is crucial to <strong>think positively<\/strong>, as it is a way of feeling and looking more confident. Also, we should <strong>ask for feedback<\/strong> to understand where we should improve. Public speaking is all about practice and practice makes perfect. Given that public speaking skills are so important, <strong>we should include them in our resume and try to show them during job interviews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><u>References:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Important Public Speaking Skills for Workplace Success, December 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancecareers.com\/public-speaking-skills-with-examples-2059697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Balance Careers<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">How To Calm Your Nerves Before Public Speaking At Work, August 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/public-speaking-tips-work_l_5d5aeb3fe4b04e1e14deb4bc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HUFFPOST<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">How to Improve Your Public Speaking Skills, January 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/public-speaking-skills-3024308\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Very Well Mind<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At work,\u00a0communication skills are crucial\u00a0because we need to interact with the workforce, give presentations\/speeches, have meetings\u2026 Thus, we need to master the art of public speaking.
