Public speaking and crisis intervention fit like two peas in a pod. Thinking, terrifying? Well, then. It is time to put the boogie man in the box and master both with 1 simple tool.
Before we begin lets look at their similarities between Public Speaking and Crisis Intervention.
- Both are public events and put you the speaker on center stage.
- Both require clear thoughts.
- The audience whether it is a large audience or angry person are not only listening to what you are saying, but also watching you very, very…did I say very yet…closely.
- Articulation is a requirement
- You are responsible for setting the timing of the event.
- Your confidence helps the audience be confident in you.
- Your success is dependent upon your ability to control your breath
