Speaking of Communication

Recently at my other blog: http://fourwinds.blogster.com/ I entered the Public Speaking arena. I propose to share aspects of this all-important subject between both blog addresses. The reason? Because I believe I have different readers tuning in to your choice of my blog articles. I assure you that Public Speaking has been an integral part of my life since 1962. One of the best moves I have ever made in my lifetime, one that altered the course of my life for the better ever since. What is more, I have seen the same happen to many others who applied themselves to all that it takes to enter the Speaker's World and become a public speaker. Possessing the ability to effectively speak and influence others to think about or do something is unquestionably, personally gratifying. Who, you can ask, needs effective communication? Quite simply...each and every one of us. We all need to communicate ideas, concepts, sport stories, e.g., golf scores, fish stories, sports action, etc., etc. And, you will notice that I have not yet even mentioned the many areas of business; i.e. businesses of all kinds. And, you know what, I am not going to discuss that today. Later in the future I may get into effective talking about various businesses from a salesperson's (speaker's) world. They all have to be effectively communicated. How effective it is done depends largely on you, the sender of the message. Do not assume that everything you say is clearly and immediately understood. The opposite is often the case. Also, hearing is not the same as understanding. Without understanding there is no effective communication. When you speak you must be certain your message is not only spoken but also received and understood. Acquiring Public Speaking skills is a grand, personal pursuit. As mentioned, it can transform your life for the better, and a full life indeed. There is an abundance of books on the subject, to be sure. Yet, I know you ought to explore a bit about what the Speaker's World requires before you can make an intelligent decision to invest in books and/or seek out a speakers activity.
