Why is Public Speaking Important?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
Mastering the skill of public speaking is one of the keys to unlocking your true potential and leading a fulfilling and successful life.
The importance of being a confident and skilled communicator shows up in every aspect of business, whether it's speaking on a Zoom call, in a conference room, selling products or services to prospects, or pitching to an investor.
Knowing the words to a song doesn’t make you a great singer. Likewise, having expertise in a subject, does not make you a great speaker. So you could be an expert in your field, but this does not translate to you communicating that knowledge in an engaging fashion.
Warren Buffett, founder and CEO of the company Berkshire Hathaway, is one of the richest, smartest and most successful investors of all time. His nett worth is estimated to be around $USD70 billion.
It’s interesting to note that when Buffett was in his 20’s, (and like most people!) he was absolutely petrified of public speaking.
Buffett now says that learning to speak confidently in public was the best and most useful skill he ever learnt. It was the skill that has had the most bearing on his future success. He claims that if you walk into his Office, the only certificate displayed on his office wall, is his public speaking certificate. (His business degrees are nowhere to be seen). That’s how proud he is of his ability to confidently speak in public!
