Leadership Communication Training - 5 Ways it Can Help Advance Your Personal Career

No matter your age or profession, public speaking is never an easy or inherent task. Initially, no one likes delivering a speech in front of an audience-whether it be for a high school report or a corporate initiative. The fact remains, however, that in order to inform and motivate a company towards goals, progress, and profit; public speaking is crucial. Not only does public communication keep a corporation on task as a whole, but can also advance your career by leaps and bounds if done properly.

When it comes to your career, it may seem that the only things you need to get to the top-or at least advance at a steady and respectable pace-is hard work, a positive attitude, ingenuity, and diligence. While these are all much needed and admirable qualities to bring to your job, they are not all that is required. What's missing? Effective presentation skills! Yes, in almost every discipline or career, you must be able to sell your ideas (not just think of them). Knowing how to communicate through public speaking is imperative to advancing a career. So, how do you learn these techniques? The best was is to attend a Public Speaking, Leadership, or Communication training course. Below, we learn the five significant ways in which a positive and effective public speaking training session can advance your career.

1. Establishes Expertise- One of the most important results of effective public speaking is that it establishes the speaker as an expert on a particular topic or subject. In your career, you could be public speaking for a job interview, in a sales meeting with a client, or a goal setting appointment with your boss-whatever it is, you need to assure your audience that you are well versed on the topic that you seek to persuade them on. Without being able to do so, you lose their interest, respect, and the positive reaction you seek through the purpose of the speech.

2. Creates/Boosts Credibility­ The second way that knowing how to effectively deliver a speech through proper public speaking methods is that it creates and/or boosts your credibility. As you work harder and speak more effectively, you will develop a positive credibility that precedes you-or boosts the credibility you may already have within your company. Having credibility before presenting a topic makes your audience a lot more positively responsive to whatever your motivation for your speech may be.

3. Company Asset- Being able to effectively speak to a course of action also promotes you as a valuable company asset by providing them with low-cost marketing. You, quite simply, become another effective marketing tool to demonstrating your company's value to the world. This applies not only to direct sales but also anytime you come in contact with anyone from the outside world.

4. Individual Worth- There are many of us that work in huge corporations in which the top boss or CEO may not even recognize us. Knowing how to publicly speak and not being afraid to do so, makes you memorable to these business execs and much more apt to move up and receive promotions. Easy identification works for political candidates and it also will work for you in your career enhancing efforts!

5. Ingenuity- Lastly, being able to effectively speak publicly allows your ingenuity and ideas for the company goals to come across heard. Having the great idea to increase profits in your company or business is only half the battle. You must know how to properly present it and yourself in order to get anywhere.
