Whenever you have a conversation with anyone other than yourself, you are "public speaking". The term is not restricted to giving formal speeches upon stage. It covers every kind of speaking and connecting situation you have with other human beings. As a professional, you are a role-model for your work. Being able to articulate with presence, ease and authenticity who you are and what you stand for, allows you to be in integrity, whether with one on one, a group, audience, impromptu or prepared.
