One of the most common things I still hear from people who are talking to me about public speaking is "why do I still get nervous when I'm giving a speech?".  Now the preamble to the question is always a little different. The person may have already gone to classes or toasting clubs, maybe the person had already been speaking for years and years and years, but for some reason they s...

The time and money you spend on improving your presentation skills has the highest return o...

There's something really special about group presentations. Group presentations are way, way more different than a normal presentation than most people believe. In fact, I've spent years and years (really the better part of a decade) studying everything that I could about presentation skills and how to deliver powerful speeches and then years later, that study kinda led me to becoming a...

A couple of years ago, I was teaching a public speaking workshop in Detroit and three of the people in that class happened to be job placement coaches.
