professional speach coaching How to Write a Speech in 15 Minutes

Professional speakers have plenty of time to prepare their speeches—business people do not. You have to answer the telephone, write letters and get the rest of your day's work done while trying to squeeze in time to prepare your presentation. Most public speaking books and workshops assume that you have hours to practice and prepare, but that isn’t practical.
This is a workshop for the real world. Learn the techniques that bring success when you don't have time to spare. If you want to succeed in business, you MUST be prepared to speak effectively with very little preparation. Take charge of your destiny!

professional humor Discover Your
Funny Bone

A practical and fun workshop in which you will discover how to write a humorous speech based on your own experience. It covers the following areas:

  • How to come up with humorous material
  • How to build it into a hilarious speech
  • How to deliver it so that you get laughs.

If you think you can't be funny, you will love this breakout session. At the beginning most of the participant claim that nothing funny has ever happened to them but by the end they have completely changed their minds. Sally Chopping, two-time winner of the Toastmaster International Humorous Speech Championships, will show you how to see life from a humorous perspective and discover your funny bone.
