Public speaking: the secret weapon in career development
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), May, 2005 by Vickie K. Sullivan
The good news is that future generations will not experience the angst that baby boomers go through with every speech. Because leadership positions require well-honed presentation skills, colleges and universities now are including a speech curriculum in their graduate programs. Undergraduate courses will not be far behind. As speaking in public becomes more common, more opportunities inside and outside the workforce will blossom. "Once you can stand up and know that people will listen to you," Reynolds notes, "life just opens up."
