Say What?
Keynote or luncheon address (30 - 45 minutes)
If
you've ever enjoyed Jay Leno's Monday night "Headlines" segment,
you'll love the amazing examples of miscommunication David has been gathering
for decades. Loaded with hilarious headlines, strange signs, and amusing
ads, this presentation is light, lively and very funny. And every bit
of the plentiful humor is fresh and original. If your group needs a good
laugh, this is the speech for you.
Field of Dreams
Keynote address
(45 minutes)
Not
many people ever got a chance to catch a game pitched by the great
Nolan Ryan...but David did. How? That's what this presentation
is all about. He saw an opportunity, committed to his goal, worked
persistently, challenged a lifelong fear, and pushed himself to a place
he'd never been before. It's a true story that illustrates timeless
principles of success. It's motivational, inspirational, and a lot
of fun, whether you're a baseball fan or not.
Been There, Won That
Keynote address
(45 minutes)
David
is one of the most unusually lucky people you'll ever meet. In fact,
you may never meet anyone who has won more prizes, contests, or games
of random chance than David has. What's the secret to his rare good
fortune? That's what this speech is about: the art of winning. But
it's not just about winning prizes; the proven principles he uses
apply to any competition, any goal, or any dream.
Elements of Eloquence
Training
program (from 1 to 6 hours)
Speaking
to an audience can be as simple as speaking on the telephone once
you learn what all effective speakers know: a good speech is good
conversation, whether seated or standing. Once you learn to speak with an
audience instead of to them, you're well on your way to
being an effective speaker.
The Language of Leadership
Training program
(from 1 to 6 hours)
This
program, a continuation of Elements of Eloquence, will show you
how to take your effective speaking skills to the next level by demonstrating
how leadership begins with the language we use and how we use it.
Business Writing in
Plain English
Training
program (from 1 to 6 hours)
Writing
need not be difficult, but many people try to make it so. The
process of writing should be natural, and the product should be clear
and concise. By focusing on time-tested, fundamental skills, you
can learn to write effectively and efficiently in this practical
program for today's business communicator.
Goof-Proof Grammar
Training
program (from 1 to 6 hours)
We
were exposed to rules of grammar in elementary school, junior
high, high school, and again in college. Yet we forgot most
of the rules we learned, and some of the rules we remember
may have changed. Here's a chance to relearn what you should
have remembered and to reinforce the rules you must not forget.
This program is practical, it's important, and believe it
or not, it's fun.
What Others Have Said...
"I've never had so much fun learning.
If high school teachers
could tap into your teaching skills, our
teenagers would be carrying
English and literature books to school
instead of guns and knives."
Lenney Wilson,
District Program Specialist
Mississippi
Department of Transportation
"As an attorney who has given many continuing education presentations,
I found your program outstanding and well worth my time. Although
I consider
myself an accomplished speaker, I gleaned many useful
bits of information that
I intend to incorporate in future presentations."
James
D. Bethke, Special Counsel for Trial Courts
State
of Texas Office of Court Administration
"Wow! Your seminar gave me more substance than all of my
speech
courses in college. Yours was the most innovative, creative,
and interesting course on public speaking that I've ever attended."
Barbara
Dorr, Executive Director
Keep
Mississippi Beautiful
"Attendees commented that the material you presented was
relevant, practical, and was delivered in an interesting, relaxed,
and humorous
manner. One even said the key elements will
be 'forever embedded' in
her memory."
