According to the syllabus, this course is to addresses how an effective oral presentation is developed and delivered and to help students acquire strategies for overcoming speaker's anxiety and gaining confidence. Personally, I was very impressed on the first night of class, as the instructor had a different spin on conducting the class.

As the students sat in class and listened to each one of us explain what was on the drawing, the more people began to feel comfortable and get involved. What I got out of the first day of class is that listening is not just being courteous and polite, but you can learn a great deal by listening. People who listen are trusted more than those who grab the talking stick and barge straight into chatter.

Usually one is perceived as competent, capable and working with others rather than against them. Good leaders are good at listening and good listeners are seen as potentially good leaders. As this next few weeks draw near, I know the primary focus will be on learning to speak extemporaneously or conversationally for maximum impact.
