Very nice analysis. Fortunately, I have zero stage fright and had conducted over 1000 training classes during service. When I was heading the Process engg team, I organised a 'speaking session', every Saturday. One of the members, low on speaking skills, will present a case study, without Power point support, and the team would guide and interact with him/ her, with the singular objective of improving the main speaker. Process engineers were frequently required to present papers in seminars and this weekly trials helped the back benchers in a big way.
True. Communication can make or break professional success. A Communication Workshop by IIM, Ahmedabad, starts by explaining how the human brain receives inputs ! To be a good communicator it is most important to know the reasons why persons or people accept & retain a communication - or ignore & even reject it. Just as one must know numbers to do arithmetic ! There are also numerous techniques to be learnt for effective Communication. For most, these are not intuitive & need conscious effort.

That is indeed a great way to engage and improve speaking skills. This could be a best practice in organizations.
