Why You Need Public Speaking Skills

Have you ever been invited to make a speech or prodded to enter a speech and drama competition? Most of us, horrified at the very idea, would reply, "No way. That's not for me." This is a normal and sensible reaction if you've never had speech or drama training.

In the same way, if you push a soldier armed with a feather duster into the heat of modern warfare, he's not going to be very courageous. However, if you arm him with state-of-the-art weapons and train him how to use them, he will be effective in his mission.*

Are you on a mission to effect change in your life or in the lives of those around you?

If you answered yes, then you'll need to be a communicator. Are you equipped with effective keys to powerful communication? Are you trained in how to use them?

If you answered no to either of the above, watch this video playlist that demonstrates tools that will help empower you to be effective in your mission.
