Would you sooner eat a Brillo pad than speak in public? Or are you already okay at it, but you’d love to be amazing on the platform? Or you’ve just been asked to do a speech and you barely know where to start? You’re hardly alone!
Public speaking coach Milo Shapiro of «Public Dynamics» is a motivational speaker and presentation skills coach in San Diego who has helped hundreds of managers, sales reps, CEOs, authors, teens, executives, Olympians, congressional candidates, and more become more Prepared-Polished-and-Powerful when they speak.
90% of the fear in speaking comes from simply never having been shown good techniques to organize your material well, practice it effectively, use humor for effect, hold audience attention, and (believe it or not) have fun doing all this! Milo is a professional member of the National Speakers Association, an improv performer with 20+ years of experience, and the author of «Public Speaking: Get A’s, Not Zzzzzz’s!» Visit his site to learn how he can make you shine!
NOTE: Milo thinks Yelp is wonderful, but he does prefer, if possible, to receive initial contact through the form on his website instead of directly from Yelp. It makes it easier for him to track incoming interest and reply more quickly and efficiently.
History
Established in 2004.
Milo has been a improvisation-based teambuilder with IMPROVentures since 2000 and a motivational speaker since 2002 with the National Speakers Association. By 2004, audience members were lingering to ask him if he would work with them on their (or their team’s) speaking skills. At first he said no, but after a few months decided to try it and began a coaching practice that has helped hundreds — from sales reps to authors to executive staff — shine on the speaking platform.
In 2007, discovering that most of the books on the topic were downright dry as a shot-glass full of bread crumbs, he penned «Public Speaking: Get A’s, Not Zzzzzz’s!» to give people something that was both full of actionable tips AND fun to read with his Top Ten Lists.
Eventually, requests came in for Milo to speak about the book and now he keynotes in a speech by the same name as the book. Video from this speech on his website.
