Join the Miami Emerging Arts Leaders and renowned executive coach Anne Freedman, CEO of Speakout LLC, for a free public speaking workshop on polishing your communication skills. With more than two decades of experience as a speechwriter, journalist, and professional speech coach, she will shed light on the art of crafting an effective message and how to deliver it with impact and style. Whether you're presenting in-person or online, these techniques will help you captivate your audience and leave a lasting impression!
- Why are so many people uncomfortable and often ineffective speaking in front of a group?
- Are you frustrated that your presentations or speeches do not generate the results you expected?
- Do your internal meetings produce stress instead of productivity?
- When you or your team members network, are you making the right connections or losing opportunities for new business?

About Anne B. Freedman, CEO, Speakout LLC /305-733-4054/ anne@speakoutinc.com
After working as a news reporter and covering many speeches that were often boring and ineffective, Anne Freedman, became a speechwriter for local business and community leaders. She quickly realized that how the words were spoken aloud – the delivery -- was just as important as the writing. Anne founded her presentation training business, Speakout, Inc., in Miami in 1990 with a focus on both crafting the message and delivering it with impact and style, helping improve skills and performance for multinationals, executives, salespeople, entrepreneurs, startups, and nonprofits. She also conducts team building programs using personalized assessments and team reports that help leaders and their teams to get better results and reduce conflict. A journalism graduate of the University of Florida, she’s the author of Public Speaking for the Genius, and developer of the eCourse, Speak Your Way to the Top, along with a collection of rapid learning ebooks and videos. Active in her community, Anne is past president of the local chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners and currently serves on the International Task Force. She’s on the Advisory Board of Enterprising Women Magazine, and volunteers for Peace Through Business, an international foundation assisting women entrepreneurs from Africa, and is involved in other business and community organizations.
Hosted by the Miami Emerging Arts Leaders, a program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, with support from the Arts and Business Council of Miami and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
