It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Michael Port and his speaking.* Michael is a former actor and also has an MFA from NYU. AND he gets $25K for his talks. (Yes, that got my attention too.)

I jumped at the opportunity to attend his first speaker training event in New York. I learned even more from his live training event with Amy Mead on CreativeLive.

I have spoken 19 times so far this year. That has really given me confidence in my speaking, but Michael’s techniques have made me a significantly better speaker. I share some of my favorite tips in How Training and Practice Can Improve Your Speaking.
