President of the Blue Ocean Toastmaster's Club, Mr. Abdul Azeez gives away "Best Speaker" trophies to Blue Ocean students
In the UAE and elsewhere in the Middle East, the power
of rhetoric and public discourse remains grossly underestimated. Very few educational
and professional institutions actually train professionals to speak eloquently
and confidently.
A flair for public speaking can actually land a professional
in a win-win situation. He not only succeeds in a job interview, but is also
regarded by the management as an asset to the company, often called upon to
make presentations to clients, and address the audience from the podium during
seminars and conferences.
The lack of public speaking skills
on the other hand has disrupted careers and resulted in sleepless nights for
many professionals. Studies show that the fear of being tongue-tied on stage is
the most common of all phobias. Some people dread public speaking even more
than death and some live with this fear throughout their lives.
