Hi, I'm Paula Howley and I'm the founder of Head Start Public Speaking for Kids.

I teach public speaking to young people and provide kids with the tools they need to overcome

fear and to speak with confidence.

When I was a teen, I was encouraged to enter a public speaking contest.

And that one event changed the way I thought about myself for the rest of my life.

From then on, I knew I had the capability to do hard things and to speak out.

The Sunshine Coast is the prettiest place on Earth and I can't believe I've

been here for 15 years already.

I love that if I smile at someone on the sidewalk and say, "Hi," they don't think I'm weird.

The ability to speak in public is life altering.

Developing one's voice as a youth infuses one with power and compassion as an adult.

N. Korean leader Kim Jong-un makes 93 public appearances in 2017 - Duration: 1:35.

The latest data shows that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made less public appearances

in 2017 than he has in previous years.

The number of appearances by the North's leader has been decreasing over the past five years.

Kim Mok-yeon has more.

From January 1st to December 29th this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a

total of 93 public activities, which is about 30 percent less than last year.

According to data released by South Korea's Unification Ministry on Friday, Kim has been

steadily reducing the number of his public appearances since 2013, and for the first

time since data was first compiled in 2011, the number of visits fell below one hundred.

Nearly half of his activities were related to military affairs, as the regime held nearly

20 missile tests and another nuclear test this year, focusing on its development of

military power.

Kim's military-related tours accounted for 44 percent of his appearances, surpassing

40 percent for the first time,... followed by appearances related to social and cultural

events with 29 percent, and visits related to the economy with 27 percent.

Pundits attribute the falling frequency to North Korea's increased confidence towards

its state power.

Among the regime's government officials, Jo Yong-won, the vice director of the ruling

party's central committee, who is also known as Kim's shadow, had the most public appearances

with 34.

Top military official Hwang Pyong-so also was seen frequently during the regime's public

activities, but since October, his whereabouts has been concealed.

The latest data shows that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made less public appearances

in 2017 than he has in previous years.

The number of appearances by the North's leader has been decreasing over the past five years...

leading to some questions.

Kim Mok-yeon has more.

N. Korean leader makes least public appearances in 2017 - Duration: 2:33.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made the fewest public appearances this year since

he came to power five years ago,... and indication that, as leader, he's becoming more isolated.

But many analysts believe the regime may open up to dialogue next year... and there could

be signs of that in the young leader's New Year's speech.

Oh Jung-hee tells us more.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made fewer public appearances this year... than in any

other year since he assumed leadership of the regime in 2012.

According to Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency,... Kim made 93 public appearances in 2017,...

a 30-percent drop from last year.

Military-related tours accounted for over 40-percent of his appearances,... with social

and cultural events... and visits related to the economy... taking up about 30-percent

each.

Kim appeared at public events over 150 times in 2012,... and over 200 times in 2013,...

but that number steadily decreased to around 170, 150, and 130 in the following years,...

hitting around 90 this year.

Analysts say,... Kim at first aimed to solidify his grip on power as well as build an image

of a friendly leader who's close to the people.

But in his sixth year of leadership, Kim may have felt that his authority has become more

or less stable.

(Korean) "The recent drop in Kim's public appearances

can first be attributed to the fact that Kim has completed the reshuffle of the leadership

structure.

Also, I personally see that military pressure from the United States has an influence.

It includes a strategy to get rid of Kim... so Kim tends not to show himself often."

With Kim making less and less public appearances, his leadership is becoming more and more closed.

But pundits believe, he could try to make room for dialogue with other countries through

the upcoming New Year's speech,... as the regime has announced the completion of its

weapons program.

(Korean) "Through the 2018 New Year's speech, there's

a possibility that Kim will once again declare the completion of Pyongyang's nuclear development,...

and turn towards peaceful dialogue with South Korea and other countries.

So how the international community responds to the North's move will be important."

But the expert added, if the international community still hangs onto strict sanctions

against the regime, Pyongyang may carry out additional provocations,... like a seventh

nuclear test and further ICBM launches.
