Importance of Public Speaking:
Research shows that pubic speaking and leadership skills are two of the most important contributors to success in the workplace. People with strong communication skills hava a clear advantage over tongue-tied colleagues. In a competitive job market, public speaking skills are crucial. If you live in Seattle, our Toastmasters club can help.
