Why do leaders from
companies like American Express,
Deloitte, and Ritz Carlton

presentation skills training to

spoke to a group?
Three words...
Results. Fast. Guaranteed.

“David helped me get

lot of time understanding our organization.
Your coaching was practical, insightful and a tremendous value.
Absolutely wonderful!”
Mark Price, Principal

“Our group never had better training! Concrete, observable results with quantifiable differences
from
one presentation to the next.”
Mark Sween, Vice President of Acquisitions
GMAC Financial Group
“I
was under a tight deadline to prepare for a major investor
presentation. David expertly coached me through the steps on what makes a
great presentation and how I should deliver it. The presentation
went off without a hitch. Without David's expert guidance,
I'm positive the results would not have been as
successful.”
Graham Wood, CFO
Steelbox Networks, Inc.
“Most helpful!
What
I always look for are take-aways -- things that stick with me that I can
use. I got a number of take-always from David that were most
important for my future business.”
Bernie Vogt, President

used to dread listening to my technical team. Now their

Is it really
true?
Yes, it's true.
The first time I spoke to a
group was back in junior high school—Mrs. Weir’s Sixth-grade
English class. Oral book reports. I approached the front of the
room, clenched the lectern for support and managed to squeak out
five words: "Good afternoon, my name is." I completely froze,
forgot my name, and never even started the book report!
Years later I discovered that if one learns how to
prepare, practice, and truly connect with listeners, public
speaking could be a wonderfully rewarding experience. I studied
the best communicators and, though still nervous, I sought every
opportunity to speak. Eventually I won several speaking
competitions.
In 1988, Toastmasters International honored me with the
title “State's Best Speech Coach” and my company, Simply
Speaking, Inc.®, was born. Oglethorpe University in Atlanta
hired me to teach their executive presentation skills classes
and people from all types of organizations called me to help
them improve their communication skills. A decade later, the
National Speakers Association honored me with their
highest-earned award, the "Certified Speaking Professional." The
CSP designation is held by less than 7% of the organization’s
4000 professional speakers and it is
your assurance that
you are dealing with a proven professional, dedicated to
your success.
During the past two decades I've assembled a stellar team of
coaches. Together we have helped more than 100,000 people from
Savannah to Singapore to develop extraordinary communication
skills.
My goal is not to impress you but to impress upon you
that no matter where you or your team may be on the spectrum of
communication skills, with the right tools, the right coach, and the right support, virtually anyone can be a highly
effective and respected communicator.
