Why learning public speaking skills is important

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve probably heard it so many times it makes you sick:
More people are afraid of public speaking than they are of death. In fact, 75% of
the population experiences public speaking anxiety to some degree.

Are you one of the 75 percent? Are you going to let that stop you from living up
to your potential in life, career or business?

Public speaking is an important skill to learn, if not master. Why?
Let me count the ways:

1. It increases self-confidence and courage

When you face a fear down, your confidence increases. The more you are able to practice speaking in front of groups, the more you will notice that your speaking anxiety decreases.

This increases your confidence not only in your ability to speak in public, but to speak anywhere. And it has the added benefit of increasing your courage to conquer fears in other areas of your life.

2. It is good for business and career.

If you are an employee, having public speaking skills sets you apart from your colleagues and co-workers. This increases your opportunities for new jobs, promotions and an overall more satisfying career.

If you are an entrepreneur or business owner, speaking is one of the best ways to promote your business and increase sales. It can also increase your visibility in the market and establish you as a thoughtleader in your space.

3. It can improve your listening skills.

Listening skills are important for communication, both between individuals and between speakers and their audiences. They are also important for your career or business.

I know this may sound crazy, but hear me out. When you learn public speaking, you also hone your listening skills. You learn to listen to those who provide feedback so you can improve your presentation. You also learn to listen to your audience so that you can tailor your speech to what works most effectively for your audience.

4. It can help you in your relationships

When dating, public speaking skills not only give you confidence but make it much easier for you to have a conversation in what could be an anxiety-provoking situation — the first date!

Also, speaking skills help you be an overall better communicator with your friends, family and significant other. You feel more empowered to speak up when you need to, and express your feelings and thoughts more effectively.
