Speaking in public didn't come easy to me. I grew up with a lisp and a stutter that caused me to resist talking to others. But, for the most part, both speech impediments were gone by the time I got to high school. Yet, I still was reluctant to speak up in front of others. It wasn't until I got into the corporate world that I learned how powerful and influential public speaking skills could be.   Now, as a public speaking coach, speaker, and podcast host, I help people develop dynamic public speaking skills. As a result, they can consistently and confidently deliver compelling presentations that resonate with and benefit their audiences. To help them achieve this, I created the AMP'D Framework™ -- an easy-to-follow system based on the magical blend of art and science that produces engaging talks and captivating speakers.
