Few skills are as easy to improve and as powerful in results, as effective public speaking skills.
It s balderdash to misquote the survey ranking speaking as the number one fear. In most polls it does rank high, but few professionals will say giving a speech is truly worse than bankruptcy or being fired. And yet those can be the results of poor speaking skills.

In fact more studies prove a direct correlation of improved presentation skills to improved incomes than any other skill including sales or negotiations.
