Africa-Press – Mauritius. Having technical skills is not enough. We should be equipped with soft skills such as public speaking in order to make a difference in what we do in our daily lives, be it as a politician, a leader of an organisation or as a parent.
The Minister of Financial Services and Good Governance, Mr Mahen Kumar Seeruttun, made this statement, this morning, during the launching of a two-day training course on public speaking, at the Maritim Hotel, in Balaclava.
Organised by the BeSmart Professionals School of Management and Finance Co Ltd, the two-day training, primarily aims at equipping individuals with the essentials of public speaking, under the coaching of the winner of the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking 2015, Mr Mohammed Qahtani.
