Last Thursday, after classes, I attended a Career Starr Development workshop in the NV vertical campus. I felt pretty lucky because the one workshop that fit into my schedule was the one I felt I had the most conviction and need to attend, this being a workshop on public speaking. I, and the fellow attendees, were taught plenty on how to feel comfortable speaking publicly; either in small groups or in front of an audience (for all occasions). The woman teaching the course was very knowledgable, professional, and charismatic. She made you feel extremely comfortable when you entered by introducing herself and and shaking your hand immediately, exemplifying goo social skills; the first step to speaking comfortably in public. I throughly enjoyed the workshop and the experience, I now feel closer to feeling comfortable speaking publicly. She taught us the many real life applications that this skill has, most importantly for many of the attendees being the importance of it in the world of business. Before this workshop I underestimated it’s importance but she broke it down for us and now it is clear that it is more than often a deal breaker in almost all business situations thus making it a powerful tool for anybody. I am strongly considering attending another career star development session after that experience.
