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!
