Every time you speak, you are revealing critical information about yourself, both verbally and nonverbally. Your listeners - whether two clients at a conference table, 12 jurors in a courtroom, or 200 audience members in an auditorium - are judging you. Compelling research proves:
HOW you say it is even more important than
what you say.
An active member of the National Speakers Association,
Candace BelAir most recently served as Chair of the Mentoring Program of NSA Northwest. Additionally, Candace is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, formerly with CNN, Newsweek, United Stations Radio Network and KIRO-TV.
