Hello Dan,
We really must add to your excellent list this plug for the non-profit organization called Toastmasters, where we can get actual real-life practice, week after week, in public speaking skill-building. I’ve been a member of Toastmasters since 1987 (when I was just a tiny baby, really!) and have found that although it may be useful to READ about public speaking tips, there is simply no substitute for standing up in front of others and actually DOING it!
We know that the only way to become a better skier is to ski more. The way to become a better tennis player is to play tennis more. And FOR SURE the best way to become a better public speaker is to speak more – as much as possible, whenever and wherever we have the opportunity. Joining a local Toastmasters club provides that opportunity each week!
@Carolyn Thomas. Thanks for this, Carolyn. You raise an excellent point about practice and doing.
