Several techniques don't actually have anything DIRECTLY to do with speaking or being in front of the group at all!One time I did a presentation on the topic of Public Speaking and in my intro I asked the audience to grab the big box of 'Fear of Public Speaking' I had placed on everyones tables.

Well if you can answer yes to these 5 questions the answer is, no, more sales training isn’t what you need to increase your success.Have you ever stopped to think about why Reality TV is so pervasive? I read recently that it now takes up more than 30% of prime time television. Everywhere you turn, there’s another series taking you into the lives (some good, some strange, some REALLY sad) of celebrities and common folk alike. I personally don’t believe that it’s because it makes for exceptional television viewing. Instead, I think it fulfills our basic human need for voyeurism.Think about it.Whether we admit to it or not, we as humans love things like gossip, soap operas, eavesdropping, sharing secrets, peeping, and Entertainment Tonight (basically, everything on the E! cable network). And let’s not forget People Magazine—yes, I read it religiously every week. Why are we obsessed with this as a culture? It’s the human interest.

When I use the term "technical" I mean in the broadest sense of a functional expert, whether it be in the field of technology, accounting, legal, sales or other specialised role. The call from the HR Department usually comes after the event, when things have started to go wrong.So why do so many companies promote people into leadership roles who are unprepared for leading a team? Is it simply that there is no formal succession plan? Not at all. An individual may be earmarked for promotion for what on the surface appear good, logical reasons.
