Do you feel like you’re not improving as a speaker and leader?

Maybe you feel like your progress has stalled. Maybe the butterflies are flying in formation, but they’re stuck in a holding pattern. Maybe you’re wondering how to take that next big step forward in becoming a leader.

It’s been said that if you repeat the same action, you get the same result. This is why further education can make all the difference.

We have seven workshop presenters speaking at our Annual Convention, and they’re guaranteed to propel you to new heights as a speaker and leader. Here’s the program:
