As a recovered agoraphobic, she has a special understanding of the fear of performing in front of an audience and speaks from personal experience on overcoming debilitating anxiety. Claire will teach how to createa successful 30- to 60-second intro (elevator) speech as well as highlight a few of the 155 tips on writing a speech, facing the audience, and overcoming fear from her book, Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker. The book will be available for sale and Claire will do a book signing at the meeting.
Following the presentation, each attendee will have the opportunity to practice what they learned and give a 30-second introduction about their business. The person who does the best job, as judged by Claire, will be awarded a prize. Light refreshments will be served.
