Moving People to Action with the Power of the Spoken Word

 

 

Welcome to Industry Insiders, where we dive deep into the strategies and skills you need to dominate in your field.

In this episode, we talk with Mike McQuillan and discuss the game-changing approach to public speaking and presentation skills that can turn your audience into clients—and your clients into passionate ambassadors for your brand.
