What is Public Speaking?

Public speaking can be defined as the act of delivering a speech in front of a large audience. Traditionally, it was treated as an act of persuasion, wherein individuals would participate in public speaking in order to sell an idea or convince the audience to follow their views. Therefore, public speaking is often associated with politicians who address a large number of people in order to share their planned campaign policies, and subsequently persuade them to vote for the individual. However, in the standpoint of organisations, public speaking often involves individuals pitching a product idea or marketing strategy to the company’s shareholders or board members. Likewise, company executives who speak in workshops, seminars, and even media press conferences are ultimately performing public speaking. Importantly, public speeches can cover a wide variety of topics in different scenarios, and the purpose can be to educate, entertain, or persuade. While a comedian’s public speaking will aim to entertain the audience, a professor’s intention will be to educate her/his students, and a sales pitch in front of external clients will chiefly seek to educate and then persuade the group of listeners. Nevertheless, many of us often fret at the idea of speaking in front of a large audience, and this is also often referred to as ‘stage fright’. Overcoming stage fright, and mastering some of the fundamental public speaking skills will permit individuals in different fields to become more confident and able public speakers.

Why are Public Speaking Skills Important?

  • Since individuals are required to deliver public speeches in crucial scenarios wherein they have to either talk about a product launch, persuade clients of their products/services’ benefits, or even deliver an organisational training, it is vital for them to be able to convey their messages clearly. Unclear messages can lead to misinterpretation, which can ultimately have drastic impacts.
  • In addition, listeners are more willing to have faith in speakers who carry an air of confidence and knowledge. Thus, being confident and clear will make you sound more persuasive and reliable.
  • Proper public speaking skills will also allow you to establish a strong rapport with the audience, and hence keep them engaged throughout the speech.
  • Ultimately, solid public speaking skills will prepare you for jobs wherein you have to represent the organisation, and also set you up for a potential job promotion into managerial positions because managers are often required to interact with their teams, which also is a form of informal public speaking.
