“Milo Shapiro made this one hour mini-workshop well worth the cost of the entire seminar. He captured the attention of the attendees and held it throughout…
Some of the stand-out moments were how to frame a speech through your four sections approach, your seven variants of vocal variety, approaches to Q&A…and techniques for pacing time accurately.”
International Assoc. of Administrative Professionals
“Public Speaking: Get A’s, Not Zzzzzz’s” was an A plus, plus -- not just an A!…We present in front of groups of physicians which can create pretty tense situations. The tools presented in this session were clear, concise and can be used by all. The learning was fun, and creative…memorable and likely to be useful in real life situations.”
Sharp HealthCare
“[Milo] covered so many good points. Months later, I still use it as a reference. I especially found his explanations of his “Four Steps to a Successful Speech Structure” very helpful. It is deceptively simple…Overall, I found Milo’s presentation to be witty and very helpful.”
American Society of Training and Development
“With competition being what it is, we need A’s, not B’s…let alone Zzzzzz’s! Immediately after the speech, my people were buzzing with ways they were going to implement your points to liven their presentations. I think the ideas around effective use of story really hit home as well as the “Four Steps to Successful Speech Structure”, which have more application to sales than I’d bet most people see at first.”
Sambreel
“This presentation was great for both senior and junior staff as they could all learn specific skills from it. For those who only got to see the keynote, there was still enormous benefit, but wanting to see some of our key people guided more into implementing the changes, we developed a plan to hire Milo to work with seven key pairs of MEA Digital staff who interact directly with clients, four times with each.”
MEA Digital
“It was a jam-packed hour with so many useable tips, delivered in a engaging way. Milo’s stories, interesting examples, and lessons from his improv background held everyone’s attention. His use of concrete tools for organizing a better speech had everyone taking copious notes – which is a good thing with engineers!”
Project Management Institute
“…a presentation style loaded with pizzazz!…There was a quite a buzz about your four-step speech format. Many people expressed they were eager to implement it in their own programs. And because I personally coach executive level clients who frequently make presentations, I would love to send many of them a video of your section on your Seven Variants of Vocal Variety.”
San Diego Professional Coaches Alliance
“Greatly usable ideas presented in a fun way that held everyone’s attention. I’m not sure people came excited to hear this program, but in your hands, they were having a great time and definitely learning.”
International Management Council
“You shared such interesting insights into how to craft and deliver a program that I could see everyone in the room re-thinking their own programs, ready to rush home and implement them.”
American Society for Quality
“The stories were touching, the messages were motivating, and it created the open-minded feeling we wanted for the rest of the event.
Equally special were the interactive games you led us through in the middle of the program. Some tables were laughing so hard at their unexpected creativity!”
