Just Because You’re An Expert…
Doesn’t Make You Interesting
Inspiring People to Act on Your Ideas
“Remember, you’re more interested in what you have to say than anyone else is.”
– Andy Rooney
It sums up what so many content experts struggle with; they confuse being knowledgeable with being interesting. Consequently, their important conversations and presentations are delivered in uninteresting ways diminishing their influence on listeners. My workshop Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make You Interesting solves this problem.
Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make You Interesting speaker development program is available as private one-on-one coaching, small group live workshops, and large group seminars. The content and duration of the coaching are customized to your specific needs. The outcome of this program is developing your ability to say what’s important in compelling ways that listeners remember, are influenced by, and act on.
Your Coach:
Dr. Paul Homoly, CSP
I hold the highest earned designation in professional speaking – Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) – from the National Speakers Association. I am the first dentist worldwide to earn this distinction.
I have written two books on the topic of becoming an interesting expert; Just Because You’re Leading …Doesn’t Mean They’ll Follow and Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make You Interesting. This is important to you because the content in my books are gleaned from the hundreds of hours I’ve spent in classrooms coaching experts. You can have confidence in my coaching process.
I practice what I preach. I make a good portion of my income from speaking at meetings and hosting workshops. This is not a hobby; it’s the real deal for me and can be for you too.
I have a 20 plus years successful track record as a speaker development coach and thought leader. I’ve personally experienced most speaking situations and coached an incredibly wide range of experts

Small Group Workshops
Small group workshops are usually one to two-day events. Typically, I limit enrollment of Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make You Interesting to 15 full-participation attendees. As a full-participation attendee, you’ll present content you develop as part of the workshop experience. You’ll present in front of the room while I personally coach you.

I offer limited-participation enrollment if you’re not quite ready to get in front of the room for coaching. As a limited participation attendee, you’ll attend the workshop as an observer and join in workshop discussions, but no front of the room speaking | coaching | peer evaluations or videotaping. There is no limit to the number of limited participation attendees.

Large group seminars are well suited for study clubs, associations, and corporate events. The program duration can be from 90 minutes to three hours. Like one-on-one coaching and small group workshops, the content and duration of seminars are customized to your group’s needs.

Following the workshop, you’ll receive my book Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make you Interesting.
As a limited participation attendee, you’ll receive a .pdf of the workshop manual and usually, I have extra books with me so who knows…you might get a book or two!

Don Bell
One of the best learning experiences we’ve offered our product marketing manager team was the time we spent with Dr. Paul Homoly. Our product marketing managers speak to dentists, dealers, and at sales events along with presentations to guests, board members, and co-workers. Paul was able to transform how we think about every speaking event and coached us one-on-one to be better.
Dayna Comfort
Dr. Paul Homoly has surpassed all our expectations as a leader and trainer in our Speaker Development programs. We’ve worked with Dr. Homoly for years and his workshops continue to improve and delight our customers and corporate leaders. He consistently inspires and brings out the best in all who attend.
Joe Feldstien
The genius of Dr. Paul Homoly is his ability to put his lessons into a process that makes it easy for his students to follow. Paul coaches our key clinicians and our leadership team. From my 20+ years functioning as a manager and leader, Paul is best I’ve seen at what he does.
Dr. John Rowe Jr.
Dr. Paul Homoly leads our educators academy. He is reshaping and inspiring how our experienced KOL’s present as well as helping us discover some “rising stars” within our association. Our goal is to create the best speakers and advocates of the AACD and Paul is making it happen.
Mark Olivieri
Dr. Paul Homoly’s Key Opinion Leaders workshop exceeded all our expectations. Our KOL orthodontists as well as our internal sales/management team leaders attended the workshop and everyone came away with new speaking and influencing skills. A few weeks following the workshop I attended a presentation given by one of the KOL attendees of the workshop. He used several things he learned from the workshop which made him sound more confident and definitely more interesting. We’re looking forward to bringing Dr. Homoly back and continuing our progress.
Michael Augins
Our Speaker’s Academy and Key Opinion Leader Program is the best in our industry thanks to Dr. Paul Homoly. He has turned our customers into our strongest advocates.
Kristen Edwards
Paul coached our group of KOL dentists as well as members of our internal sales, products, and marketing teams. He showed us how to build relationships with listeners and present technical topics (which can be dry and boring) in a far more interesting fashion than we ever imagined.
Bob Salvin
Paul’s leadership communications coaching has had spectacular, measurable results with my entire executive team. He makes it easy and fun to grow as a leader.
Emily Hansen
In the first 5 minutes of meeting Paul, I knew he had something truly special to offer. He knows what works when it comes to communication, instills confidence in his clients to move beyond their comfort zones, and provides practical coaching to help each expert present themselves and their ideas with greater impact. I’ve applied what I’ve learned from Paul immediately and with fantastic results. Now, I’m better equipped to coach KOLs, executives, and peers to be twice as effective in half the time!
Sue Kolb
Ormco Forum 2015 was by far the easiest to produce in contrast to previous forums. The big difference was the alignment and engagement of all the speakers. All metrics used to measure the forum’s outcomes indicated what we like to see following an event—excellent attendee reviews, improved traffic and sales at our booths, and genuine appreciation from our KOLs.
Susan Crawford
Dr. Paul Homoly coached our Clinical Education Team and Marketing Managers on how to assemble their presentations in a fraction of the time they use now and deliver it in a way that really interests audiences. His coaching was the key in getting our message to “stick” with listeners and easy for our team to learn.
