I hope you'll indulge me this morning as I share an outstanding opportunity with you. First, though, I'd like you to consider for a moment who might be on your list of the 5 greatest leaders of all time. Next, consider the characteristics they all share. I'm willing to bet that "excellent communicator" is somewhere on that list. You see, while it's true that not all excellent communicators are great leaders, the greatest leaders are all excellent communicators. So it only stands to reason that if you want to excel as a leader it's important that you work on your communications skills.

I bring this up in order to introduce you to workshop designed to do just that - improve your communications skills. My friend Dan Weedin is presenting a Varsity Speaking Academy in the Seattle, Washington area on October 6th and 7th, and author Shannon Evans and I will be joining him as guest presenters. During this day and a half workshop you'll learn strategies you can implement right away that will transform your presentation skills forever:

• Learn the secrets to writing powerful presentations
• Walk away with 7 strategies to connect with every single audience
• Learn how to deliver a presentation that will engage every audience member
• Learn how to effectively use personal stories to carry your message
• Uncover your natural humor and incorporate it in your presentations
• Develop ways to overcome anxiety and fear
• Develop easy to use practice skills that will keep you constantly sharp
• Learn how to use PowerPoint to enhance your message
• Discover how to be asked back to speak over and over

In addition to all of that great information, bonus sessions will cover:

• What it takes to write to be read
• How to write to generate more clients
• The secrets to establishing a powerful presence on the internet
• How to use the internet to stay informed, in touch and in control

This workshop is guaranteed to be both informative and transformative, but spaces are limited.
