This is a seminar you won't find anywhere else. This exclusive session will develop your professionalism and increase your value to your organization. Gain practical advice that will help you:

1. Adjust your speechwriting style when there's a "Change of Command"
2. Use real-life principles of persuasion
3. Make any presentation more creative
4. Connect with diverse/international audiences
5. Take routine speeches (job promotions, retirements, etc) - and make them more memorable
6. Streamline the speechwriting process in your office
7. Deal with difficult assignments (and difficult clients)
8. Avoid "writer burnout"... and become more productive
9. Get media attention for high profile speeches (awards, commencements, patriotic ceremonies)

You'll broaden your contacts... develop your worth... and learn how to write speeches that make a difference.

SPECIAL BENEFIT: Bring a manuscript speech or PowerPoint presentation -- and get professional feedback. Learn specific editing techniques that will improve your speechwriting skills (and enhance your speaker's delivery).

PROFESSIONAL ADVANTAGE: Signify your achievement with "The Master Class in Speechwriting" course certificate. There is only one "Master Class" with Joan Detz - and this is your record of completion.

BONUS UNIT: Getting Bylines

Getting published brings rewards - especially for speechwriters. Why? Because speechwriters typically work in anonymity, but publishing gives you a byline. Publishing lets you gain recognition (and visibility!) as a writer.

How can you sell articles, essays, op-ed pieces, even books? Joan Detz knows how publishing works, and she'll share her expertise in this "bonus" discussion group. Offered before-class (over morning coffee/tea), it's a value-added for any seminar attendee who wants the professional advantage that comes with publication.

You will increase your income ... and bring value to your organization. Learn how getting published can be the single most important career investment you make as a speechwriter.
