Speech Title – How to be a Better Leader

Description – Do you want to be a better leader? Great! Step #1, stop being a Jerk. No one wants to follow a Jerk. In this presentation you’ll learn a simple 3-step process to decrease your jerk factor and increase your leadership skill. Be there or be square.

Evaluation Educational session, Anne Barab, DTM, AS

The objective of an evaluation is to help the speaker grow. The human mind cannot grasp and implement multiple ideas at once. But it can latch onto an inspired single suggestion. Great evaluators identify the most crucial next step and unlock this clue as a gift to the speaker.
