After reading chapter two on apprehensiveness, i gave it a thinking over.  The way i see 
public speaking seems like a multi aspect event.  I as a speaker don't, i rellie haven't had all too much experience.  Yet from one on one talking, and basic interaction with my peers and other individuals, it seems to me that speaking in general has to be a connection between the orator and the audience.  Now of course with the high rending of technology, a single speaker can communicate with vast audiences.  Yet a connection between the orator and individual listener is in the manner the speaker presents him or herself, it is more than a sermon in which information is translated and ignored.  Chapter two gave me the sense of seeing public speaking as a two way street, the speaker as much as the audience need to be more than open and understanding when it comes to communicating.

oh oh oh o
for i first class meeting
would a 1 hour socializing break
with connect 4 and shoots 'n ladders
 be a half good idea?

  1. I have to be honest with you adam. You may need to work on your public speaking a little, but your post seems to make sense. A few errors, but you are showing your readers your thoughts in an organized way. You can be a great speaker if you organize your speeches in the same way as your posts. I also second that motion for a 1 hour socializing break. Great idea, probably wont fly though. Shoot’s and ladders, BRILLIANT! It is such more than a half good idea! I love your ideas, and I look forward to your future posts.

  2. Hi Adam! In the future, please use the spell check feature on the blog so you can catch any misspellings.

    You are correct however, the there is definite connection between the audience and speaker. Public speaking is much more than a one way street.

    Are you apprehensive about speaking in public? If so, what makes you nervous? And to answer your question - no, an hour break probably will not happen. However, you will get to work in groups during that first meeting. :)

  4. Hey Adam.
    Thanks for commenting on one of my post.
    It got me laughing. I've never hyperventilated actually. I don't get too nervous to the point where I'm freaking out.
    I just hate the anticipation. Sitting there waiting for my turn and having to worry if I'm going to do well or not.

    But hopefully, you'll feel comfortable with us as the audience. Don't want those green playdoh and chocolate chip cookies appearing again. Haha.

    take care!
