A dedicated member of Guildford Speakers Club, I finally achieved Competent Communicator (CC) status in 2013, having delivered 10 speeches from the CC manual.
Speaking skills are essential tools whether you are communicating key messages at a meeting; want to make an impact when giving a formal presentation; or want to leave them dewy eyed or rolling on the floor laughing in the aisles when giving a speech at a special occasion.
Equally important is the ability to listen and to understand others.
Being an effective communicator is key whether you want to influence, lead, share knowledge or simply get along with others.
