Section outline

  • In Unit 1, we explored the importance that public speaking plays in our daily lives. Public speaking skills improve our self-confidence, may create greater professional opportunities, and allow us to participate in civil society. Ethics are the foundation for public speaking. As speakers, we must be honest if we expect our audience to trust our messages. And we learned that communication apprehension is normal – even for professionals for whom public speaking is their livelihood. When we take the time to understand what causes our anxiety, we will have a greater chance of learning how to overcome anxiety as an obstacle to successful communication. Finally, the communication model will provide a foundation for us throughout this course as we assess the relationship between the parts of the process and their impact on successful communication. In this unit, we learned about ourselves as the speakers or senders of the message. In our next unit, we will move on to learn about our receivers – our audience.
