“I encourage people to work toward using [public speaking] as a business development tool. A lot of people don’t think about it. They don’t realize that it is a way to develop a professional persona out there in the world… And it’s a great tool to add to a business person’s arsenal if they have the ability to get out there and start to seek speaking engagements. It is a way to develop income for a business professional, as well, if they can put together a program that’s actually a marketable tool.”
