Don’t Fear Public Speaking – Excel at Public Speaking
In 2024, 82% of today’s professionals acknowledged that public speaking and giving presentations were in their top 10 professional fears. Do you think it is better or worse today? Do you fear presenting your investigation to management or teaching a TapRooT® Course?
Public speaking is no longer about standing on stage or reading from notecards. Today’s investigators must be effective communicators during interviews, virtual calls, voicemails, streamed meetings, and management presentations. Your ability to communicate clearly and convincingly might be the difference between management enthusiastically supporting your investigation or sending you back to redo your work.
Furthermore, Certified TapRooT® Instructors‘ presentations of a 2-Day TapRooT® Course are highly dependent on the instructor’s communication/presentation skills. You need to read the class, hold their attention, and inspire them to effectively use the TapRooT® RCA Tools to find and fix the root causes of accidents, incidents, quality problems, equipment failures, and operational issues.
Therefore, if you are planning on attending the 2025 Global TapRooT® Summit on October 1-3, and you would like to sharpen your communication and public speaking skills, you should consider this pre-Summit Course.
