Speaking Topics

Communicating in a Crisis
30 Years of Work Destroyed in 30 Seconds. Somewhere within every organization, a crisis is waiting to happen. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, or even in five years; you can’t be sure what the crisis will be or when it will strike. But you can be sure that a crisis will put your organization’s hard-earned image and reputation up for grabs. We teach attendees how to communicate with the media, and many other audiences, during a crisis. Attendees will learn how to respond to questions briefly and directly and learn how to control the flow of information in a crisis.

Delivering Your Message on the Front Lines: Customer Service Skills
They say great communicators are made, not born, but improving communication skills is an area that even some of the best organizations overlook. This session teaches your front-line team the essentials of effective interpersonal communication. This highly interactive, hands-on session will teach employees at every level of business more effective ways to communicate — with clarity and purpose — to co-workers, customers, the public, and a variety of others they deal with every day.

The Power of Talk in an AI World
In a world where ChatGPT enables everyone to write like a Harvard graduate, the true power to stand out now lies in verbal communication. Unfortunately, many studies show that the fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of death, and those who struggle to talk in front of others will quickly find themselves and their organizations falling behind. Join Anthony Huey in his lively and thought-provoking keynote as he explores the power of verbal communication. Anthony helps his audiences understand the importance of perception and how first impressions are primarily formed when we speak, whether in person, virtually, or on the phone.

Talking Like a Leader: Perception is Truth!
The old adage, perception is reality, has never been more true than in today’s superficial, hyper-critical, and social media-driven world. Studies increasingly show that perception trumps facts when people make judgments of others. For today’s business leaders, communicating clearly – both interpersonally and organizationally – is often the number one driver in controlling that perception. This session, popular as a keynote, gives executives pragmatic keys to swaying internal and external perceptions in their favor.
