How important is Public Speaking for Women?

Answer 1

Educate a man, he alone is educated. Educate a woman entire family is educated goes the famous saying, says D.Ramchandram, Hyderabad/ India based Public Speaking Trainer and Media and Public Relations Consultant.

Women need to speak as much as men or even more. Women play many roles in their life at home in workplace. Particularly her role as a mother is more challenging. She needs to balance many things, between home and office. To do that she needs to be good at speaking to ensure cordial relationship with the family members, her husband and children. With ability to speak well, she can establish and maintain good relationship with in-laws as well, says Mrs. Kalpana, an organizer of Public Speaking Training programs in Hyderabad/India.

The ability to express herself especially in the changed scenario of women occupying many important positions in workplace which is unimagined before is very challenging. Keeping in view of these needs of women, Media Junction has been organizing 4 Day Workshops on Effective Public Speaking especially for women.

Why is Public Speaking Important for Women in Leadership? Public speaking for women requires both the ability to speak up and to relate to others. It also means speaking up in meetings, communicating effectively with clients, and answering tough questions presented by a team of colleagues and superiors, says Mrs. Sangeeta of Smiles Pre School. .

It means being able to convey their ideas effectively on the telephone, one-on-one and to small and large groups of people. It is the ability to influence and inspire others and to effect change. It means to speak with credibility and authority. It means to have impact. It means to be visible, to take a risk, to take a stand. It also means to listen well and to establish a strong relationship and connection with the audience. And, finally, it means to be fully themselves, to be authentic - to be confident enough to show that they are arrived, informed Ms. Kalpana.

Many women have already occupied center stage in many areas as leaders. To be an effective leader demands the ability to connect, communicate and inspire. As women, they are natural leaders. They have all the skills and competencies necessary to influence and inspire people to change and move forward. However, to really get this out into the world, they must allow themselves to be visible, to speak up, to speak out, to simply speak. While some women are natural extroverts who find their way back to their voice with relative ease, many of us must make conscious and courageous decisions and work very hard to move away from the silence that holds us back and to assume our natural roles as leaders says Mrs. Suneetha of Vertex Placements.

Many women who have stage fear, stage fright, anxiety, this is the right program, informed Kalpana. Stand up, speak up, conquer the fear and go places, says she. The fear of public speaking has been reported as the world's number one fear, research has shown that women have exceptionally large obstacles to overcome this. So we endeavor to offer this only one of its kind of training program for women. Media Junction is the only organization in India offering this program on a continuous basis for the past ten years.

More than 1000 have got trained in public speaking. Some of these includes highly successful women politicians, academecia, executives, principles of colleges, advocates, interior designers, insurance agents, home makers etc.
