Public speaking is one of life’s most useful skills. Learning to be comfortable speaking in front of others helps you build confidence to express yourself in various life situations from interviewing for jobs to applying for college to interacting with adults.
Giving a speech or demonstration helps you develop:
- The ability to express yourself clearly and convincingly;
- Skills in organizing ideas and presenting them in a logical order;
- Skills for researching factual information to support your ideas; and
- Poise and confidence in your ability to present your ideas.
