Communication is an important aspect of life no matter who you are, what you do, or where you live. Everything we do in life is persuaded by outside factors. I believe all that we say is somewhat persuasive. It is for this reason that it is important we learn about communication and how it affects our lives. Aristotle defined rhetoric as "The art of discovering the available means of persuasion in a given situation." What is your own personal definition? What does Communication mean to you?
I believe in to become an effective speaker, we must adhere to the "POP" principle.
Preparation

Practice
Becoming a good speaker isn't the only goal of communication, though. We interact in many different contexts and situations that call for different communication adjustments. We must look at interpersonal, intercultural, and contextual importance when we exchange meanings. We also must realize that listening is an important part of communication.
Listen to yourself as well, make a concerted effort to improve your communication in your daily life, and your life will improve to reflect your endeavors to improve.
