Thanks for your great testimonial and for seconding Mark’s!

I was focused on what I wanted to say, not what they wanted to hear. Trying to organize my thoughts in a way that made sense was a daunting task and I’m sure I didn’t do that well. Then I took Jody’s public speaking course. Recently I had the opportunity to present again and the difference was amazing. I actually had fun presenting! Jody didn’t take away my crazy, but her direction helped me to organize my thoughts and direct them to the audience. Jody, you are an amazing woman! Thanks for helping me become a bit more amazing, too! Can’t wait to read the book!

He was extremely shy and quiet when he first came into our networking group. We were actually in Jody’s public speaking course together and the transformation in him was amazing! Two years ago, I would never have imagined that he would step up and become the president of our amazing chapter. Not only has he stepped up to that challenge, but thanks largely in part to Jody, he has brought a new electricity to the chapter.

Amy, wonderful question – one that I have been asked before and believe that many people wonder about as well. In fact, I commit to answering that in the next few days in my next blog post so more readers can potentially benefit from this valuable information!

So everyone, check back and keep bringing me questions so I know what you want to know next. Talk to you all soon!

Did I actually say that Jody? Wow. I’m a jerk. Glad it helped, and I’m crazy excited for you!! Great work!

I am so excited to hear about your book and can’t wait to read it! I am a registered dietitian that does a lot of public speaking; but of course have had no formal training. This book will be just what I need to take my professional skills to a higher level. A question for you though.
I currently am working with a small group (8-10) ladies, teaching them weight loss with a non-diet approach. What happens to me often is that one person will ask a question that the others may not be interested in. I realize I can pull that person aside later to answer her question but could use some tips on how to tactfully redirect back to the task at hand during class. I look forward to applying any advise you have. Thank you!

When I first joined the group I was a nervous wreck speaking in front of people. I got red in the face, I forgot to breathe, I just wanted to get it over with. However, I decided to tackle my fears head on and took her public speaking course. I am now President of this business networking group, and speak to 50-75 business professionals on a weekly basis. I can only recommend Jody, her courses, her talents, and her knowledge in the highest regard. The lessons that I’ve learned will benefit me for a lifetime.
