Summary
For business leaders, public speaking skills are critical. Whether you're delivering a major keynote or simply leading a staff meeting, you've got to be able to engage your audience and communicate powerfully.

As a part of the communications consulting firm Duarte, Mike gives 70 speeches a year -- all on the topic of public speaking. He is the talker about talking. And he's going to teach us to talk.
Mike shares the expert tactics that separate casual public speakers who just get by from pros who stand out. Whether you're a dread-filled newbie or a seasoned pro, give this a listen and take your public speaking skills to the next level.
