As we talk about communication on this podcast, how can we miss public speaking skills? That's why this week, we are talking with New Zealand's leading public speaking coach, Miriam Chancellor.

We talk about:

• Why is public speaking important and different?
• Should you script your speech?
• Limitations of self-recording and practicing on the phone. 
• Importance of knowing your audience.
• Three things your presentation needs to have.
• A few good ways to improve, practice, and hone your public speaking skills.
