Speaking Skills for Dental Professionals

How Well You Speak Shapes Your Career

There may come a time in your career when you wish you were a better speaker. Maybe you begin to imagine lecturing at association meetings. Or establishing yourself as a sought-after Key Opinion Leader. Or leading a Dental Support Organization. Even being more inspiring in your practice with patients and team members is a worthy and profitable goal. To successfully advance into lecturing, consulting, or leading, the critical skill you must master is being an engaging, memorable, and influential speaker. The workshop, Just Because You’re an Expert…Doesn’t Make You Interesting, is the fast track to building speaking skills you’ll need to get where you’re going.

I’ve attended Homoly’s speaking and thought leaders program three times. Not only did it make me a better speaker, it helped me communicate better with my patients. If you want to make a big difference, get involved with Homoly’s speaker workshops.

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.
