Today I heard that same comment for the bazillionth time. A friend, even a Toastmaster friend, asked me, Why would companies organize public speaking seminars? Those people don’t need to speak in public!
Well, apart from the great saying, Whether it’s one person or a 1,000 people, it’s always public speaking, here are 20 good reasons.
Why would you, as an employee, want to participate in a public speaking seminar?
- Because communication is the hardest skill.
- Because you receive positive and constructive feedback.
- Because you get rid of subconscious ticks and quirks.
- Because you improve your body language.
- Because you train your vocal variety.
- Because you learn how to structure your content.
- Because you get to the point.
- Because you learn how to tell stories.
- Because you can be creative again.
- Because you are inspired.
- Because you see your colleagues in a different light.
- Because it’s teambuilding.
- Because you’ll speak up in the future.
- Because you learn how to persuade people.
- Because you become more self-confident.
- Because you raise your level of energy.
- Because you boost your charisma.
- Because you unlock your potential.
- Because it’s personal and professional growth.
- Because public speaking is therapy and you get to know yourself much better.
