Reasons to Learn Public Speaking
Reason #1 Increase Self Confidence
A lot of our self worth and self esteem is gained by our perceptions
of what we think other people think about us.
Public speaking increases your skill at communicating with others,
making you more confident around people automatically, and it
also increases your skill at perceiving people’s reactions to your
message.
If you can better understand what people are thinking and thus
change what you are saying to make them think and feel the way
you want them to, you can help to make people think highly of you.

Reason #2 More Comfortable Around People
One of the worst things about being around other people is those
awkward moments when neither of you know what you say or you
fumble and say something stupid.
Public speaking increases your skills at interpersonal
communication either when you are with one other person or a
group, you are less likely to be awkward and more likely to be
comfortable and confident.

Reason #3 Generate Sales/ Get a Better Job
If you own a business or do some form of work on the side public
speaking is one of the best ways to understanding how to
effectively get your message (and the emotions tied to that
message) across to another person can help you generate more
sales for your company.
Public speaking skills help you present yourself well at a job
interview that will be the ultimate decider as to whether or not you
land that higher paying job and whether or not you get paid in the
higher bracket or lower bracket of pay rates.

Reason #4 Get Your Message Across
Ever come across a meeting where the presentation lasted for
hours but you have no idea what was being discussed?
Public speaking skills incorporate body language and emotional
elements to help you give an effective speech. Emotions appeal
most to people, especially when they are required to take action
after the speech. Body language is over 55% of what audience
notices during a speech.

Reason #5 It is Inevitable
You might need to work in sales and speak to groups of people to
sell product, you might need to give a presentation at a business
meeting. No matter who you are it is almost 100% certain you will
need to give a speech at some point in your life.
Every public speaking opportunity is an opportunity to grow your
leadership, your influence and your career.
By becoming a confident and capable public speaker you instantly
put yourself above many other people who refuse to stand up and
speak.

Reason #6 Make a Difference
Having the opportunity to influence people’s thoughts (remember
they’re taking time out of their busy head to listen to your thoughts
on the world) put you in a position to create real positive change in
people’s lives.
In order for anything important to happen an idea needs to be
transferred from one person to many.
President Nixon did this when he inspired America to put a man on
the moon.

Reason #7 Boost Performance in Life
Public speaking will not only improve you communication skills, it
will also improve your leadership skills, your confidence and your
ability to change beliefs and to market yourself.
There are multiple other skills you will learn with public speaking
that can actually boost your performance and fulfilment in other
areas of your life.

Reason #8 Demonstrate Knowledge
90% of people will avoid getting up in front of people to give a
speech.
With public speaking skills, you are positioning yourself as an
expert in your field and you have a great opportunity to share your
knowledge.

Reason #9 Improve Existing Knowledge
One of the best ways to learn is to teach, and public speaking is
exactly that…an opportunity to teach.
Public speaking helps you share your thoughts, opinions and
research information. The preparation that goes into a speech and
the fact that you have to work out how to communicate to others
effectively makes you understand your content that much better.

Reason #10 Get You That Promotion
Public speaking is a fear greater than death. People avoid public
speaking all the time. By having the confidence and ability to speak
in public you can differentiate yourself in your studies and the
workforce.
This could put you in line for better grades, the next promotion or
keep your head off the chopping block when the next redundancy
rolls around.

Reason #11 Form a Tribe of Supporters
By standing up in front of people and delivering a talk you can
attract like minded people around you.
By giving speeches you can help to build your own tribe of
supporters that will not only be inspired or motivated by you but
also adopt a belief of which you create and lead.
