“The ability to speak well in public is one of the most sought after skills in our society. It’s the good communicators who get ahead in this world. And contrary to what some might think, experience alone is not the best teacher where public speaking is concerned,” says Ms. Cardillo. “There is much more technique involved than most people realize related to delivery, content development, timing, audience interaction, etc. Without that knowledge, you are just polishing your mistakes by relying on repetition to improve.”
Attendees must register in advance and seating is limited. The fee for the seminar is $229 and includes refreshments and materials. To register call 800-801-5796 or visit www.dcardillo.com.
