Enhance your public speaking skills at Women's Business Network Luncheon on July 13

 It's a skill critical to networking and career advancement -

explore the topics of why we fear public speaking and how to overcome the fear;
getting comfortable marketing YOU; how to share information about yourself;
projecting a positive attitude; getting used to your own voice; and four steps
to preparing for your next presentation.
 Jacqui is a clinical psychologist and life coach with more
than 20 years of experience working in private practice and community service.
Her services include one-on-one life coaching, workshops and seminars offering
women various opportunities to improve the quality of their lives. Using
principles from Positive Psychology, she encourages and guides clients in
identifying and utilizing their strengths and talents.
