Steven D. Cohen, assistant professor in the University of Baltimore's Klein Family School of Communications Design, tells Slate that developing public speaking skills can be life-changing—far beyond the expectations that most of us have about what it means to deliver a message in front of an audience.
"Public speaking affects your academic, personal, and professional lives," Cohen says in the article. "People shoot out résumés and cover letters in emails into these black holes. Those that can pick up the phone and call a recruiter or impress in an interview, those are the people that get the best jobs. Public speaking is a differentiator."
