Kill the Elevator Speech and Other Communication Horrors in Networking
Let’s face facts: doing business today can be a scary thing. Networking means something a whole lot different than it did to our parents’ or grandparents’ generations. Not only are there face-to-face networking meetings, but now there’s social media, multi-day events, and more opportunities to have to answer that dreaded question: “What do YOU do?”

If you shudder when you hear it coming, you're not alone. That "What do you do" question can frighten even the most successful business owner. In this speech audience members will hear exactly how the old school advice to have and "deliver" an “elevator speech” is flawed and flat out doesn’t work to create genuine human connection. Further, they’ll discover there are alternatives that don’t resemble a horror film from the beginning of a relationship to getting a sale. Audiences will have fun and discover the best ways of communicating with others to build a life of value and service while also being profitable.

Make Money with Your Mouth!
As author of the book 21 Ways to Make Money speaking, Felicia Slattery will share some tips on how business owners who are not necessarily in the business of speaking can use the power of their voice to make money as an additional stream of income, be more creative with their communication, and how to create a Signature Speech™ to market their businesses for more prospects, more clients, and more cash flow.

Most rooms benefit from the addition of a microphone. I have been trained to project my voice to fill any size room, but it's often more comfortable for audiences to hear with amplification.

I have no requirements. I can use slides or not, whichever you prefer for the audience, size, and occasion. Whether you are using a jumbotron-style LED monitor for a larger size space, have an intimate board room setting, or anything in between, I can work to accommodate your needs and preferences.
