Imagine this: You've worked hard on a big project with nine other colleagues. The project is finally done. But there's a problem. Research says 70-80% of adults are afraid of presentations and public speaking. So, none of your colleagues want to present the project to the stakeholders.
But then there's Janet. Janet has taken presentation classes and is ready to "bell the cat." Everyone else is happy because Janet will do the hard, embarrassing, and scary task.
You and your nine colleagues watch as Janet impresses the stakeholders. Your project gets the "green light," and everyone is happy, heading off for a celebratory drink after work.
Now, think ahead. When the CEO and the management team think about that project or need to decide on a similar big project, who will they remember? Who will they consider for better job positions and higher pay?
Will it be you, your other eight colleagues, or Janet?
Why Public Speaking & Presentation Skills Matter
My friend, anyone who wants to succeed today needs strong presentation and public speaking skills. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or someone starting a business, your speaking skills can open many doors.
This is not just Kunle's idea:
- Forbes says great speakers are seen as more believable, get more promotions, and earn higher pay.
- A study by Prezi found that 70% of working Americans say presentation skills are very important for their success at work.
