More Confidence
The major problem with far of public speaking is a lack of confidence. If you don’t have this in yourself, you will never be able to speak to others with confidence. This is the first step to improving your capacity as a speaker.

Become More Definite
Often times even the best communicators will cop out with a “never mind” when what they really mean is they can’t properly put in words what they are trying to say. More practice will relieve this pressure from the tongue and mind and allow you to say what you mean like you mean it.
Develop Your Listening, Reading and Writing Skills
You will find that you capacity to articulate verbally will improve your capacity to understand other forms of communications as well. You will notice that your listening, reading and writing skills develop with a high degree of fluency and clarity. This will allow you to communicate what you want effectively.
Improved Performance Skills
A good speaker will hold his audience’s attention with clever words and well-structured thoughts. But a truly great speaker will captivate and engage their audience by reaching to the soul of the matter at hand and making it real to their listeners. The art of rhetoric can be infused with pantomime, props, impromptu charades and so much more that makes what you say more impactful.
Cross Cultural Barriers
There is so much to be learned from reaching beyond your social confines and making an effort to speak the language of others. Not only learning other languages but adopting the mind frames and perspectives of another can show you new and unheard of ways of reaching your intended audience.
Realize Your Full Potential
Once you begin speaking with greater confidence and fluency you will find that you are capable of reaching greater heights and making impressive accomplishment. You may see how much you have settled for when your true worth was far greater than what you accepted. Public speaking training has an endless list of advanatages to provide to you and your professional life.
