Hello, I work at a marketing firm where presentation skills are required. Meetings occur frequently and I need to speak freely and confident infront of people. There is no place for anxiety and nervousness which I totally get, but of course cannot fake. This is something I want to work on, and wondering if you guys can recommend any online resources or real life training you have done and like? Thanks! Otherwise it's all good! Thanks for the help. Anton
Hello! It takes consistent action over an extended period of time to get good at public speaking/social skills. This might do the trick to improve your communication skills: Offline: Toastmasters Public Speaking (check in any major city) Online: Conversationland.com for daily conversation skills coachings (google them) Brad
Hello, I like to post on the gamespot off-topic forums. Occasionally spam bots show up and use different techniques to try and convince people to buy or use their product. This is one of the best spelt, but strangest ones i have come across. Tyler
[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"]See if there's a toastmaster club near you.dkdk999
a what ?Wiki It's a club where members help each other improve their communication and public speaking skills. There are chapters all over the world and if your town/city is big enough, chances are, there's probably one near you. Ask a local library as that's usually where meetings are held. I actually opened a chapter a few years back in my college. In doing so, I had to see a few local chapters to see how their meetings are held. It was a really good experience and the club did help me a lot. I just wish I stayed or moved to another club somewhere near my work.
These two 'newbies' are far too proper and helpful to be convincing. 'TC' should have said this: yo i got new job n cant talk to well in front of everyone do you guys have any tips or hints lol Then there should have been a mediating poster saying something like this: dude just google it or dont be afraid i do it all the time and its not big deal Then the next responder should have said this: i cant link for some reason? but i heard toastmasters wuz a legit place to practice ur conversing skills Then I might have believed it.

Edit... a crap, it's a necro.
hmm sounds fun. Maybe I'll have to try that sometime.
Yeah focus on going out and possibly taking a public speaking course like Toastmasters. Ive been there once (only spoke 2 minutes tho) and its awesome. Never tried out Conversationland but it would depend on the skills of the coach. See ya
Actually I would not use toastmasters. Any site that has to spam ads for itself, cant be that good. I would save your money. Have a few shots of whiskey and you'll have all the cahones you need. Plus you can say that you didnt use some lame ass service like toastmasters. Seriously, who calls their business that?

Those are pretty bad reasons to not try it man. Those are pretty good reasons. I think most people would agree with me.
