944. A Day in the Life: What's It Really Like to Be a Speech Coach and Communication Consultant?

“As a history student in college I quickly noticed that behind every significant historical movement or trend, there has always been a powerful communicator–Churchill and Roosevelt during World War II, and Martin Luther King during the civil rights movement are a few examples. The more I learned about the profound impact of communication skills at every level of our society, I realized that I wanted to not only learn those skills myself, but I also decided to dedicate my career to teaching them to others.”
