Shame on any speaker trainer who suggests that speaking is not a practiced craft that needs to be honed just like any other craft.

For a new person, who is serious about speaking, it was very sobering to hear this executive. She cut right to the meat of the issue of getting hired by a Fortune 500 company - so have got to be polished, practiced and very, very good. I took this as a challenge to reach that level of competence. Each of Steve and Dawn's events that I attend is a quantum leap in the right direction. Steve is right.
