Your reasons for speaking can generally fall into one of four categories:

• To Persuade
• To Inform
• To Celebrate
• To Remember

Think about the conversations you've had today.

• Do they fall mainly in one category?
• Is there one or more categories that you feel less confident in.
• How would you benefit if you could master all categories?

For example

Think about your home life. Has you ever had a conversation with another family member and come away thinking that didn't go well?

• You may have been trying to persuade- asking for more allowance, getting a child to tidy a room.
• Or to inform- explaining the rules of the house
• Celebrating- a family birthday speech.
• Remembering- reminiscing about the past.

Think back, were any of the outcomes not as good as you hoped for. Did you come away from the situation thinking 'why do I bother'?

So what can you do?

There are a few options open to you

• Do nothing- hope that you will naturally improve. Yes, this might seem like a good idea but think about all the things you are missing.
• Join toastmaster- a great place to learn lots of public speaking skills, however they may not be convenient.

Hopefully by now, you should agree with me and millions of others that the importance of public speaking is not overrated.
