BIO
Patricia Fripp was the first female NSA President in 1984. She is a CPAE, CSP and Cavett Award winner.
 
Few individuals can speak and coach equally well. After building a strong keynote speaking business Patricia has transitioned into an in-demand speech coach for corporate leaders and celebrity speakers, and sales presentation skills trainer.
 
Meetings and Conventions magazine claims she is one of America 's 10 most electrifying speakers and Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine says the sixth best investment in your career is to attend one of her speaking schools.
 
Patricia is partner with Alan Weiss in The Odd Couple Marketing seminars. In the year NSA Rocked she partnered with her brother, legendary guitarist Robert Fripp, to present at the SpeakerPalooza and Performance Lab.

And Now A Word From Your President...
 
 
We've had some awesome and timely programs so far this year and the response has been great! 
 
However, this month's speaker should be at the top of your list to hear. Patricia Fripp personifies what speaking and the NSA is all about. Called "one of America 's 10 most electrifying speakers,"  I urge you to come and find out why Kiplinger's Finance said "
the sixth best investment in your career is to attend one of her speaking schools."  We'll get a condensed and impactful version for a fraction of the price!

Looking ahead, I also urge you to mark your calendar for the next program - Friday, April 17th in Chesapeake.  Mikki Williams will help you develop humor and creativity in your presentations that make you unforgettable!
 
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Dorothy
