My guest today is Dr. Michelle Mazur, founder of Communication Rebel, a company helping speakers and entrepreneurs give birth to their talk or message that they want to be known for. Dr. Mazur is leading the presentation rebellion in an effort to help speakers communicate more effectively.
After teaching as a college professor for a few years, Dr. Mazur decided that she would rather teach outside the classroom. So she opened her own business helping other speakers. She is also the host of The Rebel Speaker Podcast and author of Speak for Impact: Write a Speech That’s Your Next Best-Selling Product.
