Keynote Speaker David Brooks: 5 Secrets of Presentations

The ability to make an effective presentation is one of the most important skills you can possess. Professionally or personally, it can spell the difference between your success or failure. Join us on April 20 and let David Brooks, award-winning professional speaker and trainer, teach you how to elevate your presentations from average to exceptional.

David Brooks has taught nearly 100,000 business professionals to speak and write clearly, concisely and confidently. For three consecutive years, David was the top-rated trainer with an international seminar company and has spoken extensively across the U.S. and worldwide.

In addition to his teaching, writing and training skills, his skill as a public speaker has been even more prominently recognized. In 1990, he emerged from a field of more than 25,000 competitors to become the Toastmasters World Champion of Public Speaking.

Since then, he has taught, coached and mentored seven subsequent World Champions and dozens of finalists. He has been published in national magazines, and has appeared on nationwide television and radio broadcasts in the U.S., Canada, Taiwan, Oman, Australia and Sri Lanka. He was also once featured in a segment on National Public Radio. He is the co-author of The Seven Strategies of Master Presenters, and he has also produced three audio CD learning programs and two DVDs to teach better speaking skills. Learn more about David here.
