Gavel Club,

Public Speaking in my opinion is the ability to convey your message to an audience by speak in front of them. This is a skill that is gaining importance as people are not encouraged to speak out. Nowadays, even the employers want their employees to be able to do public speaking. Of course for those people who are lucky to be blessed with the ability to speak well in front of any audience, good for them as they have already an useful skill with them.

So what about those who tend to stutter or shiver or in extreme cases, simple unable to get the words out of the mouth due to nervousness when standing in front of an audience? What about those who want to be a better public speaker? Well, these people can start by joining a public speaking club such as Toastmaster's Club for adults and the junior Toastmaster's club called Gavel Club, for high school students between the age of 13-18 years old. Now why must they do that? How will it help them? By joining a public speaking club, one can have to opportunity to get use speaking in front of an audience or for those who have overcome their fear, they get the opportunity to improve their public speaking skills.

As they say, "Practise makes perfect". The same goes to public speaking. In a public speaking club, one can be encouraged by the support of their peers to overcome the fear of speaking in front of an audience. One can also improve as fellow members will evaluate each other and point out each other's strengths and weaknesses. As a results, the person is able to improve the public speaking ability.

While Toastmaster's Club is more common, Gavel Club is also available in Malaysia. One Gavel Club in Malaysia is the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club. So for those who are interested, do visit their site and know more about them. http://1stmalaysiangavelclub.wordpress.com/
