Up until my senior year in high school, I have been interested in various things that range from art to technology; the topic of business was also an interest of mine.

I identified this particular skill as one I would like to improve because I know that I lack a certain confidence factor when it comes to speaking in particular when I have to speak in front of a large crowd. As of right now, I know that I am capable of speaking in front of people. However, I do not feel confident when I am speaking and because of this I am not able to deliver my best while presenting. Throughout this semester in Business 103, I have developed more of my speaking skills through our various formal/informal presentations. Additionally, activities, such as the resume critique, enabled my speaking skills because I was in frequent communication with a fellow classmate. Overall, polishing my speaking skills will contribute to my personal success because I will be able to lead important tasks, such as giving oral presentations in front of my staff members and other people that I may come in contact with without fear. I will be confident enough, therefore allowing me to communicate my ideas/presentation

Therefore, developing my proficiency in these areas would help develop my leadership, management, and administration competency. Completing this program is a great way to develop in these areas because I am finding it really enlightening to engage with the perspectives from my peers and learn from their experiences that they share in discussions. Most of my classmates are further in their careers than myself, so their contributions allow me to consider higher education and leadership in a way that is different than what I am familiar with because I do not have much experience in roles where divisional strategy, organizational structures, or other “big picture thinking” items are

Public speaking is probably the most terrifying fear that I have. In order to be a good practitioner of Human Services, I must overcome this fear and train to be a better speaker. I can strengthen this skill by taking a couple classes in public speaking and by practicing my introduction with myself. I work at a fine-dining restaurant, and the servers are meant to be confident in menu knowledge and try to upsell as much as possible. When I first trained, I practiced so hard to spiel out of the menu but I kept having to repeat myself repeatedly.

My biggest need is just the need to be better prepared and second to be more organized. Practice and opportunities to speak in front of a group will help to continue to develop speaking skills. During interviews, I dislike questions about how I feel or a time when I reacted a certain way. Just like in a speech situation I feel everything is moving too fast and I need to remember to slow down, take a breath and remember I’ll be fine.

Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.
