• Discuss what you have learned about the subject of public speaking, about yourself as a person, and about your skills as a speaker since you began this course. The best thing I learned about the subject of Public Speaking is it's a lot easier to do once you have guidelines to follow. For instance, when the Professor gave us the questions that must be answered in order for us to have a good persuasive speech. That made it really easy for me to research a topic and give a decent speech. As a person, I've accepted that my former career has shaped the way I speak and moving forward I will lean into the authoritative tone when giving public speeches. • Do you feel more, or less, confident about public speaking? I feel more confident about public speaking. Being comfortable with the information you're speaking on is half of the battle.
