6 ways public speaking enhances your career

by Jaques Montegolifier Chartered Accountant
Do you like standing in front of the crowd and deliver a speech, with all the eyes and ears on you? Many are fearful of public speaking while others are naturally born with the skill. The ones who fear dread being up on the stage, considering everyone pay close attention to them. They fear of messing up the speech, ultimately leading to an unforgettable experience.

However, you cannot escape public speech. You may have to give presentations at work or would want to make a career of it, going on to become a male or female motivational speaker. The best way to get comfortable with it is to learn public speaking skills. The more you hone them, the more confident you feel to approach the podium.

Public speaking supports your career in the following ways:

1)    Demonstrates knowledge: If you have clarity of thoughts, you can portray your experience appropriately. It is said that knowledge is of limited value if not applied well. It is also a loss if the key people you work with are unaware of your knowledge. Through public speech, you can align your thoughts with the business and its objectives.

2)    Increases knowledge: When you prepare for the presentation, you become more in tune with the matter itself. Experts suggest that before giving a presentation to a group of people, it is essential to know your topic. Knowing the subject matter is not an important criterion. You also need to gauge it well for delivering it to the audience in the right manner.

3)    Develops confidence: So many of us get nervous when it comes to public speech. It is one of the most critical and communicative skills one must learn. Did you know the fear of speaking to a group of people is called Glossophobia? Fortunately, several courses train you and build your confidence. This will have far-reaching effects on your career. 

4)    Professional recognition: A good oral communication is considered as one of the key skills required in businesses. Having this skill enables you to interact in a composed and qualified fashion with other professionals. If you frequently deliver a favorable presentation to a group of people, you position yourself as an expert and an authoritative figure in the chosen field. If you are outspoken enough, you can solidify yourself as a leader and a spokesperson for your organization.

5)    Career progression: Being proficient in public speaking can have several positive benefits on your career. A good presentation puts your company in positive light and memorable amongst the peers. Moreover, colleagues and seniors gravitate towards you for standing out with the presentation. If the C-suite is unaware of your knowledge and ability, they may never appreciate your full potential. Therefore, every speech is an opportunity to sell yourself, to grow your authority in the team, and demonstrate knowledge.

6)    Benefits beyond the conference room: Once you have mastered the presentation skills, you can carry them beyond your conference room and work environment as well. Mastering public speech teaches the art of persuasion, clarity, and the ways to concisely and clearly explain our points. This way you can strike an effective communication at a personal level with your family and friends too.
