actually, u dont need great skills to climb the corp ladder, this is very true in big companies, and people with sweet mouth seldom change companies. i rather have great mouth than great skills, but too bad im more on technical only, and not mouth          .

Dark NT,

That is not true.  I give sales presentation and training to Americans.  I studied in SRJK©.  But, I got my degrees from American universities.  However, I am NOT normal.  I am a lot more outspoken than normal people even in primary school.

By the way, I was trained in public speaking via the 10 weeks' Dale Carnegie course.

A person can be trained in public speaking if a person choose to.

shadow111,

If you DO NOT TALK, how could ANYONE know what you had achieved???  Waiting for others to communicate YOUR achievement is not going to happen.  We do not want take credit of OTHERS achievement.  But, if we DO NOT TALK, we cannot take advantage of OUR OWN ACHIEVEMENT.

You NEED communication skill for office politic self defense.
