I created Eloqui with co-founder Deborah Shames. It is a unique and forward-thinking communication and presentation training firm. Our formula is a blend of art and cognitive science. As a former actor, I enjoy connecting with audiences, so delivering keynote speeches and conducting group training is an expression and refinement of my life's work.I always sought a different path, whether it was being a stuntman at Old Tucson Movie Studio, directing professional theater, or representing firms like Cisco and Siemens for 10 years around the world as a spokesman. It's important that my work creates something that serves others in a profound way. All Eloqui techniques come from our collective experience as director and corporate spokesman, so the tools are field-tested. With over 15 years in the business, the techniques are proven, and the results are quantifiable.Our book Own the Room, published by McGraw-Hill, illustrates the Eloqui Method in a concise and colorful way. I'm proud that it has become a business best-seller. Deborah and I want to leave a positive legacy, and change forever the way business presentations are delivered and taught.Specialties: Coaching and rehearsing pitch teams before make-or-break presentations.
