Public Speaking and Training Q and A

Posted on: January 12, 2009 by Jordan Hardy Comments Off

I’m often asked about my public speaking and training experience so thought I would just post the answers here. These are recent questions I’ve received in person, through email, and over the phone.

What is your public speaking experience?

When I used to work for Rod McLellan Orchid company, I gave over 250 talks over a few years to groups of 50-200 people. I was featured in books, newspapers, and live TV. I also did team trainings. After that, at Sybase and at Disney I did team trainings. In the last year,  I have been doing public speaking for various companies, team trainings, and individual one on one trainings.

What is your team and individual training experience?

Training individuals and teams  is truly enjoyable. One on one, there is the benefit of tailoring training for the employee. With team trainings, a lot of ground can be covered.

Do your think we should have you come in and teach our team? What is the benefit?

Hmm.. let me think… yes! The benefit of hiring me is my experience, patience, and clarity of throught in organizing the training materials. I think the benefit is that it can be quite useful to have a trainer who people can relate with and learn well from.
