I took a college Speech class and was very glad I did. It opened doors for me as I went in search of teaching positions & felt comfortable communicating as a young adult with the seasoned veterans I encountered. I also found that it gave me the opportunity to learn how to communicate with different types of people and it is always fun to talk :) I am looking into our local Toastmasters as Peggy suggests, I met with them this summer and just in our brief conversation was reminded how effective communication builds confidence.

I enrolled in a psychology class and I'll to this day remember the instructor demonstrating a hand shake.  It was a positive demonstration which showed to always have confidence in yourself.

Some great expereince can be gained from joining a local chapter of Toastmasters. I find it to be a great place where you learn as you go - they ensure you have the opportunity to participate  in some form each week as you learn great tips for public speaking including grammer, filling the "ah,um" spaces as well as expanding vocabulary and getting to the point.

I had a similar experience, Barbara. As a sophomore in college, I was very shy, lacked confidence and was petrified to stand in front of the room. As it turned out I had a a raging fever the day of my speech final, but, came to school just to deliver the speech. Anyway, I was so 'out of it, that I became totally uninhibited and surprisingly got an "A" in the course!

As part of my college courses (back in the '70s) I was required to take what they called 'Speach Class'.  It was very interesting.  We had to give impromptu speaches, as well as prepared speaches on various topics and training presentations. Of course, then there were no training aids, like computers.  We had to listen to a presidental debate and report to class. Brought out that 'active listening' is a big part of communication.  Also in small teams (4-5 people) had to write a short 10-minute script; which via the drama department, was filmed for class review and comments. Suggestion is to check the syllabus for the course you select.
