​Turning my Weakness Into my Greatest Strength: From a Youth with a Speech Impediment to National Champion Public Speaker.
Turning my Weakness Into my Greatest Strength: From a Youth with a Speech Impediment to National Champion Public Speaker.
As a youth public speaking was a challenge. I had a speech impediment and had to attend additional speech classes to overcome this disability. Every night at dinner I would say tung twisters like "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers" or "Sally Sells Sea Shells Down By The Sea Shore." Through hours of practice I would move from inability to proficiency in communication, enter speech competitions, and seek specialized trainings to become a master of public speaking. I am proud to say that I have improved 300+ presentations, earned a national champion title in Impromptu Speaking, receive a certification from Harvard College in "Presenting with Impact," and studied the art of Speechwriting with Executive Speechwriter for the Bush Administration, John McConnell. I am your go to guy for all things public speaking and presentation.
Teaching Machines How to be Rhetorically Effective
Most have tried to write with Chat GPT but have experienced frustration at its inability to write in a compelling, effective way. I combine my passions of persuasive presentations and prompt engineering by teaching machines how to write persuasively.
