Death is Number Two

Picture

Jerry Seinfeld once said this:

A recent survey found that most people think that public speaking is the scariest thing in the world.
Death is number two.
Death!   Is number two!!
That means that if you're at a funeral,  you'd rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy.

It's fair to say that many people don't like speaking in public.  That, however, is not an option for this class.  Public Speaking is essential to being a well-rounded, successful person.

PowerPoint

I have also attached a PowerPoint on how to speak publicly.  Use this as an example when you create your own PowerPoint and read its useful tips for speaking in front of the class.  This is the same PowerPoint that was used in class.
