Conference Agenda

Remember that old cliche about picturing your audience naked when you’re nervous? Well, guess what? It doesn’t work.

When you attend this 2-day speaking seminar, you’ll get proven techniques and strategies that are guaranteed to work. We know they do because each one has been “road tested” by the most successful public speakers in the country. Join us for these two fun-filled, enlightening days and you’ll learn:

The Fundamental Rules of Public Speaking
The most important thing about public speaking is: Presentation to the marketing group? Pitching a product to a client? Brief introduction of another speaker?

How to handle questions and use them to emphasize and support your message
Generate audience participation when energy is low and attention spans start to wander

Buying time to mentally organize your thoughts without looking like you’ve drawn a blank

But what makes this session truly unique is having two world-class speakers and trainers leading your group – Judi Moreo and Allison Blankenship.

A founding member of the American Society for Training and Development, Judi Moreo has trained more than 20,000 professionals in 26 countries in the past 20 years.

As the past president of the Florida Speakers Association, Allison Blankenship has won numerous awards for her abilities as a professional speaker. She has a gift for translating complex ideas into principles that can be used every day.
