Public speaking is a skill, and thus something you can learn. With that thought in mind, we asked public speaking coach Paul Arinaga to give a workshop for our speakers.

He is co-author of The SmartPresenter™: Double Your Impact and Halve Your Preparation Time, available in bookstores in the spring of 2012.

Paul is managing partner at Red Phoenix (www.redphoenixagency.com), a communications agency that helps clients to sharpen their communication strategy – objectives, target audiences and messages/positioning. Red Phoenix then helps its clients to create high quality communication material that makes the strategy a success.
Before founding Red Phoenix, Paul was a software executive for Microsoft and Philips Electronics. He holds an MBA from London Business School and a Masters in International Economics from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of The Johns Hopkins University.
