Go ahead. Try something new. Learn new skills. 

See what you are capable of. See where this leads you.

My humble advice to you.

Polish up your public speaking skills. Yes. You READ me.

No. I am not saying this because I am (obviously) a public speaking fan. I am telling you this because it is the truth. Too good to be true? Well do not make any conclusion just yet. Please allow me to explain to you how public speaking skills can help change your life forever. Yes. That is right. Change your life forever.

1)Make you a confident person

Giving a speech can be quite challenging for some people. Standing in front of an audience to talk is not as easy as it looks. You need to have courage to do it. You have to overcome your fear and control your nervousness. You must appear confident even if you have butterflies in your stomach.

So how is this good for you? How can giving a speech change your life forever?

The word is confidence. Public speaking skills build up your confidence.

By being able to speak in front of people, you will believe in yourself, trust in your abilities and become a confident person. You will develop a strong and interesting personality. Positive things will continue to happen to your career and your life.

“Change Your Thoughts and You Change Your World”
-Norman Vincent Peale-

2)Good for your brain

Public speaking is not only about the act of speaking in front of an audience. You need to think about a topic. What do you wish to talk about? You have to write a speech before you give a speech. Even if you are giving an impromptu speech, you still have to do some thinking.

When you write a speech, you will be looking for ideas for your speech. You have to choose the right words to use and search for vocabulary in your mind. You will be stimulating your brain for sure. When you give a speech, your mind needs to stay focus. You must remember what you are going to say.

So how is this going to change your life forever?

Writing a speech and giving a speech are good for your brain and improve your memory. Public speaking skills encourage your mind to be active. This will keep your brain young and healthy. Thus, you will have a good quality of life.
  

3)Help you find your purpose in life

Do you know what is the purpose of your life?
Is it to contribute to the society?
Is it to educate the future generation?
Is it to invent something useful?
Is it to share your knowledge with the human race?
Is it to help others?

Public speaking skills can help you to find your purpose in life and help you to achieve your purpose in life. I have witnessed this with my own two eyes…how public speaking skills changed the life of someone I know.

I have a friend who is an animal lover. She is caring and concern about the environment. She used to express her feelings to me about how some people were cruel to animals and how much she wanted to make a difference.

One day, she decided to learn public speaking. She joined the Toastmasters club and she also asked me to teach her what I know. She was not a good speaker at the beginning. But, after many months of practice with persistence and determination, she became a good speaker. I must say, she is a better speaker now.

After mastering the public speaking skills, she realized what she can actually do with it. She finally found her purpose in life. She started giving talks to the public about the welfare of the animals. She organizes campaigns and fundraising in her home town. Public speaking helps her to reach out to the public and create awareness. Her speaking skills made it possible for her to accomplish her life purpose.

The final truth…
If you use the skills wisely, public speaking can change your life forever. If you know how to speak well, you are able to convey message, connect, influence, persuade, educate, motivate and fight for what you believe in. 

The possibilities are endless. 

So, if you wish to make positive changes in your life, learn how to speak. 

Your life shall never be the same.

WHAT MAKES GOOD SPEECH CONTENT?

Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Why do you listen to speeches? Are you bored and you have nothing else to do? Do you have this weird habit of listening to people talking? Or maybe you are being forced to listen to these presentations by your bosses? My guess is; you listen to speeches because you want to learn something from these speakers. You want to get valuable information. In other words, you are looking for great speech content. Of course, listening to a speaker with good sense of humour may lighten up your day. However, if the speech does not give you what you seek, why do you listen to the speech? Am I right? Now, another question, let say you are the speaker, do you know which one is more important? Is it the way you deliver your speech? Or is it the content of your speech? Well, you know the saying, ‘content is king’. No matter how good you are at delivering a speech, it all comes down to what you can do for your audience. So the real ...
