Public Speaking:Speak Like A Pro April 24, 2010

Great speakers have a few things in common. Powerful information, poise, and the ability to communicate based on the strengths of their personality. All of these elements must be present in order to be great.

Zig Ziglar (Sales/Motivation Expert), Barack Obama (President of the United States), and Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) all harnessed these skills on the way to achieving their goals. None of these men are in the same field, but their dynamic abilities have catapulted them to the top of their respective professions.

Public Speaking: Speak Like A Pro is an entertaining, interactive, and informative workshop hosted by Professional Speaker Marcus A Smith. This hour and a half event is designed to provide you with free nuggets of information that will immediately enhance your skill set.

Content includes:

* Dealing with fear
* Presenting with poise
* Gathering powerful information
* Communicating within your personality type

The first 60 minutes cover the material listed above. The last 30 minutes of the program are designed for audience Q and A. No question is off limits!

This session is free and open to the public. The program starts promptly at 3:30 pm and ends at 5:00 pm. It will be held at The Peachtree Library, 1315 Peachtree St, NE Atlanta 30309. The library is located directly across the street from the High Museum. The building is currently undergoing construction so look out for swinging cranes!

Here are a few testimonials of Marcus' work and ability:

Several years ago I was struggling with the ability to communicate my value to a target company. In one session Marcus gave me techniques to overcome fear, organize my ideas, and effectively communicate my unique value to my interview audience. Without Marcus's help, I might still be looking for a job. Thanks Marcus!
