The Gallatin FFA Chapter recently had two members participate in the Public Speaking Institute (PSI). PSI is usually a one day, in-person event hosted by Andrew McCrea; this year the event was a virtual format that incorporated the use of current Missouri State FFA Officers. Abigail Burns participated in the public speaking portion of the event which taught her about building her research skills, boosting her confidence, and fine-tuning her manuscript. Lane Dowell focused his time in the PSI clinic on interview skills. Lane learned about the communication skills in which employers are interested, and went through an introduction and mock interview practice. Both members learned about advocacy and the importance of spreading the awareness about agriculture to their communities.
