Public speaking is a communication skill that, in today’s business world, can boost sales, support organizational goals, and enhance reputations. Some people are natural public speakers who can effortlessly present information to both small and large groups of people. For many, however, that is not the case. If you have a fear of public speaking but have chosen a profession in which you would benefit from strong presentation skills, a business communication degree can help you overcome your fear, while simultaneously boosting your career. Walden University offers a Fundamentals of Public Speaking course that can help you develop your presentation skills, gain confidence when speaking, better analyze an audience, improve your listening and critical thinking skills, and even improve your use of technology in presentations.
