Description

The Bootstrap Speaking initiative is intended for those of you who are/will be speaking publicly to promote your businesses, or want to become a professional speaker/trainer. I will be teaching interactive classes that not only provide you with the tools you need to create a captivating stage presence, but allow you to practice the techniques we learn. Lots of fun and laughs while we help each other improve our professional, public speaking images.

In addition to the foundation classes described above, we will also engage members of this group in specialty classes (like storytelling) and other projects. We share ideas and provide a support community through the yahoo group bootstrap-speaking@yahoogroups.com.
