From my workbook, Listening to Hear!
Personal Illustration
As a student, I struggled with public speaking, and I often became anxious and nervous when presenting in front of a group. I realized that my emotions were affecting my communication, and I needed to develop my emotional intelligence to overcome this hurdle.
I learned that emotions play a significant role in communication, and my anxiety was affecting how I was perceived by my audience. I began to pay closer attention to my emotions and how they were impacting my speaking skills.
