COMMUNICATION I was a nationally accredited public speaker for three years running, generally speaking to
crowds of two hundred people or more. As an illustrated speaker, it was my job to construct
displays and present them in both an appealing and attractive manner. As a corporate trainer,
it was my duty to pass along my learned knowledge to the entry level account executives in
the office. Cold calls, as well as face-to-face direct sales and marketing were daily
requirements.
