Public speaking is an essential skill because it strengthens our ability to express ideas with clarity, confidence, and influence. Whether you’re leading a meeting, sharing testimony, teaching a class, or simply communicating with friends and family, strong speaking skills help us to connect more effectively with others. Public speaking builds leadership, boosts self-confidence, and opens doors to personal and professional opportunities. Most importantly, it empowers us to share messages in a way that inspires, informs, and uplifts our fellow man.
