Evidently it’s becoming more and more apparent – to school kids and especially college students – that their future success can greatly depend on their ability to communicate and make presentations.
Here’s a few example’s I just found:
- Public Speaking Tips for Kids – Public Speaking is one skill that kids should enhance. Aside from practice, Public Speaking for kids requires personal coaching. Personal coaching includes the development of self-confidence and the effort on helping kids to improve …
- Fitness Marketing Public speaking nightmare come true – I had been worried about it all year. It had seriously been on my mind from the start of my freshman year in high school. Speech class. Yes, to get out of the 9th grade I was going to have to take Speech class. …

Kids tend to learn faster than adults and are open to new ideas and methods more than adults.
Too bad for adults.
Frankly, I’ve always said that intelligence is NOT your IQ, NOT how many degrees you have or how many facts you’ve absorbed.
Nope. Intelligence, in my view, is your ability to adapt. The more you’re able to use your discernment and adapt to changing circumstances, the better off you are – and the more intelligent you are.
Unintelligent people stick to outmoded ways of doing things. Can you imagine any reason to use a typewriter instead of a computer/word processor?
Take a lesson from kids: public speaking and the ability to make presentations is not only going to enhance their careers, it’ll enhance YOUR business or career too.
See you later,
David
