NSA Colorado is putting on a three day boot camp this weekend for those who are interested in becoming professional speakers and for those looking to take their speaking skills to the next level! This sales presentations seminar is open to the public. We have three openings left-so email me right away if you are interested.

pam gordonHere’s the line up of experts for this weekend we call Speaking Eloquence. Pam Gordon, will train on “Making Your Message Stick.” According to experts, 90% of the information you share with audiences and clients is forgotten in less than 48 hours! How can you make sure your seminars and keynotes make a lasting impression…come hear Pam Gordon. Pam is a former NSA Colorado President and teaches graduate school in speech communication and adult learning at The University of Denver. She speaks internationally and holds her Med. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Pam and can assure you she is fabulous!

scott halfordAnother past NSA Colorado President, Scott Halford, will also be with us. You will not be learning from rookies! Scott’s program is “A Psychological Sport”. Presenting well has more to do with what’s going on inside of you than you might think. Scott has been awarded the Certified speaking Professional designation and will share his powerful insights with you. He is known worldwide by executives who have learned from him about the psychological impressions that audiences wish to be left with about the speaker, as well as the physiology of our performance that is dictated by the fear message we send our brain while we speak. I’ve also had the pleasure of hearing Scott-and you are in for an absolute pleasure.

Next up, two of my favorite ladies-Christie Ward and Gina christie wardgina schreckSchreck. Their program is “Putting It Into Practice”. You will be practicing and receiving critical feedback on your own presentations. For seven years, Christie Ward coached and managed 200 of the best professional speakers and trainers around the world for CareerTrack, Inc. It’s true-Christie has worked with me and keeps me on top of my game and she will do the same for you! Gina is the current President of NSA Colorado and a fabulous speaker and sales presentations trainer! Her company focuses on helping individuals and organizations communicate more effectively-can your business afford to miss this expertise?

But wait…there’s more! We have the pleasure of having Hilary Blair joining us, Her program is “Developing A Powerful Tone.” Hilary has been a teacher and performer for over 25 years. She teaches voice, public speaking and voice over as part of the teaching staff with the Denver Center Theatre Academy and National Theatre Conservatory. She is an award hilary blairwinning stage and Voice_Over artist. She hold an MFA degree from the National Theatre Conservatory and a BA from Yale University.  Hilary is one of Denver, Colorado’s best kept secrets and in my opinion one of the finest voice coaches in Denver and nationally! Sign me up! Your investment for this fabulous weekend is $1,000 and I would wager that this may be the best $1000 you will ever spend on your career. Operators are standing by-(me)call me, Steve Mertz at 303-619-8972 or email Christie Ward: christie at christieward.com Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity!

I want to personally thank all of the presenters for this weekend who are giving of their time and talent to help advance NSA Colorado-Thank you very much, Steve

Hi David, Thanks for coming bye. We have quite a few folks who started in Toastmasters. They have decided that they would like to pursue a career as a professional speaker and are now looking at the National Speakers Association to help them go to the next level. Continued success. Steve
