Asheville Chamber's Hot Tips - 5 Steps to a Great

On Thursday, May 1, Presentations skills coach Rick Fornoff shared a short yet powerful course on improving your speaking skills, whether talking to an audience of one or one hundred.

Even in this tech-driven world of emails and teleconferencing and online learning, no communication is as powerful as face-to-face contact. Your elevator pitch is the shortest, most frequently spoken, and most important speech that you give. Since it is so critical to your success, shouldn't it be well structured, to-the-point, and effective?
