Blogging for Your Business Workshops
Greetings!

Keeping your audience's attention--whether you're communicating live, on the Web or in writing--is our focus in this month's newsletter. And it's been my focus in the day-long workshops on communicating science I've been conducting for the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Foundation. You can see some of my audiences' comments at right.
 
Want to test my skills for yourself? Join the audience as I interview Chef Nora Pouillon of Washington's Restaurant Nora as part of the "CEO Insights" series of the National Association of Women Business Owners, on the evening of April 16 here in DC. (Members, guests and non-members are all welcome.)
 
Let me know how we can help you engage and reach your important audiences, at info@dontgetcaught.biz.
 
Sincerely,
President

Blame it on information overload, shorter attention spans or what you will, but we think today's speakers need to work harder to hold audience attention.  We recommend five ways to plan your speech with your audience's needs in mind.
