For too long, effective public and presentational speaking has been the subject of thousands of books, thousands of seminars and I'm sure, innumerable conversations you've been a part of at meetings, conventions and conferences. Too often, the people who give you advice on this subject know nothing about communication and rely on unprofessional, tired, incorrect cliche to guide you in what is the most important aspect of professional life today - communication. That's NOT what you and your organization should rely on to succeed in front of audiences. That's NOT what today's professional deserves. It's time for a smarter approach.

That's where I come in.

By allowing me to work with you and/or your organization, I will bring modern, doctoral level knowledge and over 30 years of experience as a public speaking educator to work with me with one goal in mind - to provide you with the INDIVIDUALIZED communications assistance YOU need to succeed. I do not rely on a "one size fits all" approach to effective speaking. Instead, I will work harder to get to know YOU and YOUR team members, help you find a style that works for YOU, and when necessary, work with you on YOUR level to overcome the often debilitating speech anxiety that's preventing you from sending the excellent messages you know you have. I will make it my mission to make sure YOU stand out at that podium or at that meeting. One on one and group training is available. Please don't hesitate to call on me...even on very short notice, to help you get ready to speak to succeed.

My fees are based on the project as a whole and vary by the client and the nature of the project. I never charge by the hour. Travel expenses (including business class airfare from Tampa, FL to the nearest major airport to your location), business class hotel accommodations and a modest per diem are charged in addition to my professional fees. In most cases, a 50% deposit and travel expenses are required to secure my services and the remainder is due upon completion of the project.
