In my public life, public speaking will help me be able to speak up about issues that affect me in the community. For example, I might have to challenge an issue at a city council meeting or a school board meeting, and becoming a better public speaker will give me the know-how and confidence to do so. Public speaking will also help me in my professional life because most employers are looking for employees who have good oral and written communication skills. When interviewing for a job, public speaking skills will enhance my ability to persuade the interviewer that I am the best candidate for the job. Finally, it can also help me in my personal life because public speaking skills can boost my self-esteem and self- development. I can learn that public speaking is something that I can do well and it can boost my confidence overall.
