I have been teaching a remarkable public speaking class to medical personnel. The class is LIFE CHANGNG and has contributed to successful presentations for many of my students.
It is an interactive program and is fun for both my students and myself.

The skills add a level of confidence that just calms the speaker and helps them leave a GREAT impression no matter what the circumstance.
I began teaching the class on behalf of Pharmaceutical comapanies.
