Speak To Win - 5 Tips to Grab the Audience by the Forelock

As a teenager, while most kids were listening to rock ‘n roll, Dan preferred listening to the speeches of the ages. He had memorized the Gettysburg Address, could recite large swaths of Kennedy’s 1961 Inaugural Address, Martin Luther King’s I Had a Dream speech, and Lou Gehrig’s Farwell to Baseball before he could vote. In a business career spanning 40 years, from bagging groceries to the executive suite, Dan has attended - and delivered - several hundred presentations and speeches. Throughout his odyssey, Dan has attended many proprietary executive speech programs. He is a four-time graduate of The Dale Carnegie Course and a Toastmaster, but most of all, he is a lifetime student of the great orators, past and present. Combining this experience with years of study and training, he has distilled and synthesized this body of work in his podcast, An Odyssey into Oratory, to create actionable strategies that people can use to leverage the power of speech in all aspects of their lives.
