I am often asked:

How did you get that nickname "The Silver Tongued Devil"??

As a professional educator and public speaker, there was a very nice lady who was attended my lectures as much as possible and was so supportive of me, telling everyone she knew that they ‘just had to’ attend my lectures.

She referred to me as the Silver Tongued Devil, because she felt that I imparted fascinating information and could help people reach profoundly significant insights, but that I sometimes resorted to mischievous or devilish (I would say ‘playful’) measures in order to do so. And other folks followed suit. It just caught on. I was flattered by the praise. However, I always keep in mind that the Devil was Our Lord’s favorite Angel until The Arrogant Angel tried to Play God. Once he did that, Our Lord banished him to the Netherworld of Hades. I tend to prefer warm climates, but it is as hot as Hell down there. In fact, it is …. Hell.

So, as a professional public speaker, I entertain, educate, and motivate people. My aim is true and honorable. I cause no harm. And the flip side? As people grow older, their fears (in general) tend to diminish in magnitude.

Interestingly, fear of public speaking is an exception. I can coach anyone to scare the Hell out of their stage fright and make it run away!

Moreover, we address many other aspects involved in communicating impressively and we do so as if we are staging a theatrical production, including drafting/handling your script, body language, tuning your voice, assessing your costume (attire can greatly influence perception), and providing the participant with numerous options regarding how to deal with members of the audience (including dealing with hostile inquirers and hecklers) and much more.

Getting over stage fright is easy. a piece of cake. Learning the other skills, improving your ability to speak before a group. is painless and fun. And, just in case you aspire to become a professional speaker, corporate trainer, or some other kind of “mouthpiece” yourself …. who better to advise you than …. The Silver Tongued Devil?

It would be my great pleasure.
