     Be confident
     Know the topic well

    Importance and uses of oral
    communication
      When most people discuss oral communication, they are referring to speeches and presentations.
    While written communication has become more popular thanks to online communication channels,
    employees in many fields are expected to give oral presentations on occasion. Many people suffer
    from anxiety related to giving speeches. However, oral communication also involves communicating
    with other employees and bosses.
     This type of communication is essential in modern offices. While offices are relying on email and
    text communication more than ever before, these communication channels are not as quick and
    effective as oral discussions, and fostering communication skills can help employees work more
    efficiently. Focusing on oral communication can help employees gain an edge. People make
    judgments about others giving a speech both consciously and subconsciously, and those who stand
    out are able to capture the attention of listeners. While many believe that great speakers have a knack
    for it, many renowned speakers have admitted to practicing extensively and studying other famous
    speakers. A bit of extra preparation can help people make the most of their opportunities to give
    speeches. Lately it seems that every time I talk to a teacher or parent there is one main theme that
    pops up. Are students losing their ability to orally communicate because of the amount of
    technology?
    Last,But Not The Least

    learning from failure.” Gen. Colin L. Powell
