Public speaking is considered an important professional skill.  Public speaking is also ranked as a high anxiety experience for many people.  

How can we close this gap?  Practice, practice, practice.  In the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell maintains that it takes approximately ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery in a field.  And so, let's get started young and help children learn these skills.



How do I get involved?

1.  Communicate with Heather, 4-H Agent, if interested.  586-4009 or heather_gordon@ncsu.edu

2.  Present at County Presentations Day on Friday, May 12, 2017 4:30pm, Extension Office.   Register by completing this form: County Presentations Day - Click to Register 

3.  Let Heather know at County Presentations Day if you'd like to present at District Activity Day on June 17 (Franklin, NC).  Those from Jackson County who register for district presentations will receive a 4-H Pin Display Ribbon.
