The modern world demands people to communicate with greater precision and clarity, only those who are able to do so have all the success in their favor.
Communication is the most important skill in life, as stated by Stephen Covey, author of the bestseller "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". On the other hand, Zig Ziglar, well-known author and speaker in the field of leadership and motivation, cites research that shows that 85% of our success depends on our relationship and communication skills; how well we know and interact with people.
For this reason, more and more people are worrying about communicating better with their peers, an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to achieve success in this competitive modern society.
Professor Mike Cellamare, one of the leading instructors of modern public speaking in the center of the country, states that “Today, most people talk too much and say too little. It is one thing to speak beautifully or have good speech and another very different thing is to know how to communicate clearly and assertively to be understood ”.
The point is that we waste our valuable time talking a lot and saying little, for this reason, companies are conducting their internal meetings and presentations in less time, because they cost too much money. Today, serious companies are employing people who, in addition to their respective university degrees and work experience, have an easy expression and are more assertive when communicating.
We can all speak well and communicate better with other people, of course, training in this matter of communication is required, such as a good oral expression course to learn how to communicate effectively verbally and bodily so that the message is still clearer, this type of training is known as a modern public speaking course.
In Venezuela, especially in Maracay, hundreds of professionals, technicians, workers, and even housewives, have a great interest in these modern speaking courses, since the benefits are many. Let us remember that effective communication is essential for human development and the progress of the entire society. Public speaking is being unveiled in Maracay and throughout the country thanks to its main promoter, modern public speaking announcer and teacher Mike Cellamare, who is effectively training professionals from all areas, at the same time, running the site at Internet best known in this area, where the user or visitor can ask any questions regarding the subject, in addition to knowing the offers of the next courses to be held very soon.
What is oratory?
The word oratory has nothing to do with praying or praying, it is a word that originates from Latin and means the art of speaking eloquently, it is a literary genre that takes shape in different forms, such as speech, dissertation, conference, the sermon, etc. Public speaking is the art of speaking or communicating orally with other people for the purpose of informing, teaching, instructing, convincing, entertaining, selling, or persuading them to do something in particular. It is good to note that there is a big difference between persuasion and manipulation, they are two very different things.
The fear of public speaking
When talking about public speaking, it is inevitable to think about stage fright, nervousness, the complex or fear of public speaking, also known as glossophobia. Many people panic just thinking about speaking to a large or small audience. This feeling, it seems, is something completely normal in us human beings. As we know, most people have a great fear of public speaking, however, this is so necessary to give good reports at work, actively participate in the class of a course, or even hold a speech at the toast. At a wedding, among many other issues, it can be achieved without major difficulties. The secret will be to be patient and practice as much as possible.
The most important rule for public speaking is to know very well what you are talking about. It may sound obvious, but the truth is that most speakers who have difficulty speaking in public do not have a clear idea of what they want to convey to their audience.
Therefore, you need to know exactly what you want the audience to capture, for which it would also be very useful to write down the three or four main points, and think in relation to them. You don't have to be a human encyclopedia, so too much information could backfire on speech.
Many people feel that they should adopt another "character" while speaking in front of an audience, as if they are not important enough to be considered and cared for by the public.
Some speakers even go so far as to impose a serious, solemn and expressionless posture and forget that humor can be one of the most important instruments in any speaker. Therefore, humor, facts, anecdotes and personal stories should not be ignored, which can be a wonderful way to reach the heart of an audience.
