This is a high-level seminar you won't find anywhere else.

Have you ever wondered how your organization's speeches stack up against the best in the country? Well, that's one of the advantages you receive in this intensive, small-group seminar.

SPECIAL BENEFIT: You get to bring a manuscript speech, and I'll take you through a detailed critique process - showing you best practices that will improve any speech/presentation.

What troubles you about speechwriting in your organization?

• Do you have a nagging suspicion that other organizations are producing better speeches with a smaller staff?
• Do you know where you're wasting time (and money!) in the speechwriting process?
• Are you producing the high-caliber speeches that are necessary to build your career?
• Do you suspect your speechwriting team could be doing better - maybe even much better?
• Are you tired of working "the late shift" with yet another speech re-write?

If so, this exclusive seminar is for you.

The "Master Class" candidly addresses topics that concern senior speechwriters and executive communication professionals. Gain insights that will help you:

1. Adapt your speechwriting style to serve new executives
2. Make every second count when you have limited access to your speakers
3. Use advanced techniques of persuasion
4. Make any presentation more creative and more quotable
5. Streamline the speechwriting process (Time is money. When you streamline your speechwriting process, you control your budget.)
6. Write for international forums
7. Deal with difficult assignments - and difficult speakers
8. Take charge of the approval/re-write system throughout your organization
9. Create value for your speakers (and boost your own career) with media attention

This exclusive session will develop your leadership position as a professional communicator. You'll broaden your contacts and bring value to your organization.
