In our world today, the need to sharpen our communication skills have even become more important despite the advent of technologies and the internet. We just cannot continue our excuses why we cannot communicate powerfully and effectively. Most of the speakers or great orators were once poor speakers. They had to painstakingly develop their ability to communicate fearlessly and eloquently. As a speaker the most important thing is the ability to personally connect with your audience in the way you appear sincere and authentic. But you cannot appear sincere an authentic when you are more concerned with your fears of communicating instead of connecting with your audience. We just cannot run away from our fear of public speaking forever. We can be empowered to become great speakers which will benefit our professions or our business. Most great speakers were not born that way, they all had to fight their fears of speaking in public before they became great speakers.
