The Speaker's Choice

Read more about the what the Speaker's Choice does

Company Overview

Communication is consistently ranked the #1 business skill for career advancement. Skilled communicators are better at influencing, motivating, managing, and consensus-building.  They are also more likely to be hired or promoted.  One distinction between written and spoken communication is profound: Spoken communication is a one-time shot.  Although you can prepare to speak, but you can't proofread what you’ve said after the fact.

A lucky few seem to have an "instinct" for speaking with impact and influence.  The Speaker's Choice is committed to developing that instinct in you and your organization .  (We call that instinct “unconscious competence.”) Through the use of powerful,  highly effective , time-tested interactive coaching, The Speaker's Choice works with you to hone spoken communication skills that are commensurate with your subject area expertise.
