“Anne B. Freedman, President and Owner of Speak Out, Inc., has presented a motivational and captivating seminar entitled “Strategically Speaking: Taking Presentations from Ordinary to Wow!” Anne was not only an asset in the planning of the seminar series hosted by DeVry University in conjunction with the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce but was able to bring 50 participants to our feet at 8 am!"

“Our two-day seminar delivered by for Polaroid Latin America was outstanding. The seminar gave us a whole new method for preparing our presentations. It is incredible to see the difference between how we used to present and how we present now. As we know change doesn’t happen from one day to the next, however I can assure you that everybody keeps your tips in mind when preparing and delivering a presentation and will come to master this skill.

“Having been to several sales training programs in the past, I feel I am qualified to say that Anne’s workshop is one of the best available today to help account executives create and expertly fine tune the message and manner of presentations to make the sale. Anne’s expertise as a creator of focused learning, a facilitator of engaging workshops and a coach who authentically connects with the learners is first class.

My management saw immediate improvement in my ability to connect with the customer. As a sales professional, I really appreciate that obvious link between cause and effect. I thank Anne for giving me one of the great learning experiences of my professional life.
