How can your career be affected by your public speaking ability? The fear of public speaking affects many people, gluing them to their chairs. Actor George Jessel said, “The human brain starts working the moment you’re born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.” Whether you’re applying for a job or conducting a public meeting, COMMUNICATION is a vital tool for engineers to master. There is a stereotype that “professional engineers are shut away in workshops and labs.” No, they are at the heart of engineering firms and need to be excellent communicators to make sure their colleagues, customers, and sometimes the public understand the importance of the engineering work. The ability to speak in public can have a tremendous impact on your engineering career.
