Public Speaking in Action
I have decided to write about my First Sergeant who will remain nameless. Since arriving at Al Udeid AB, I have had a lot of interaction with my Shirt. From one on one discussion to being a member in the audience that he is briefing, the interaction level has varied. In my opinion, he is a great public speaker and I do not have any major criticism thus far. However, nobody is perfect so I will be talking about his key strengths and weaknesses that I have noticed over the past two months.

Even if I am not confident on the inside, I find that displaying confidence is key when speaking in public. The major flaw I share with my Shirt is the tendency to mumble when I get stuck pronouncing a difficult word. It doesn’t happen very often, but from time to time I come across a word that I struggle with. I know there will be many more opportunities to hear my Shirt speak and I look forward to watching him speak. I don’t consider myself a speech critic, but this assignment has opened my eyes to at least one speaker’s strengths and weaknesses. The next few times to possibly whenever I am in an audience, I will definitely be looking out for strengths of the speaker and paying attention to their weaknesses as well to
