PUBLIC SPEAKING
HANDBOOK

Often people will recognize a good public speaker as having a special talent or ability
with speaking in front of others. While natural talent may play a role in public speaking,
there is no evidence that says only those who have a natural talent can give quality
presentations. This is a skill you can develop with practice. In fact, just as riding a bike,
learning another language, mastering writing composition, and many other skills in life,
learning how to speak well in public is something that can be taught to do effectively
and skillfully regardless of the innate talent. And with practice comes more ability to
master public speaking skills and develop them as something others might recognize as
a talent. b b
