Public Speaking Ethics

It is important to practice ethical behavior in your speeches, as it helps to establish trust with your audience.

Effective speakers engage in ethical goals, fully prepare their speeches, practice honesty and avoid abusive language.

Develop a practice of active listening to be an effective listener.

Plagiarism involves the taking of someone else's words or ideas and trying to attribute them as your own.

In the age of the Internet and social media, it can be both very easy and very tempting to plagiarize. In short: don't.
