In my leadership role(adaptive aquatics) does not require much public speaking, it does however involve speaking one on one with little kids. In my role i can benefit the children by just talking to them and letting them practice their speaking skills. As these children grow and develop it is imperative that they have speaking skills to communicate with their peers.
In the future i hope to become a swim coach in this role public speaking will be necessary as i try communicating to large groups of swimmers, and their parents. Public speaking is not just a skill for leadership it is a skill for life.
P.S. never start a talk, "today the bishop asked me to speak on..."
Great job applying! Remember to share your thoughts on the lecture.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you see that you can be a leader by letting the kids you serve have time to talk instead of you talking all the time. Communication is vital to leadership, but most of the time it is more important to listen then to talk. I agree with you that public speaking is so important, not just for a leadership role, but for life in general. One needs to know how to communicate to others clearly and effectively when trying to get a point accross.
