  1. What a coincidence – I’m from Steve’s former club in Manly Vale, Sydney. I didn’t know yours was the club he’d moved to. Browsing online just now, I was surprised and delighted to see Steve’s photo.

    Like you, I write a blog about public speaking. Posts include “10 tech tips” for webinars and online meetings, how to present a 1-hour talk in just 30 minutes (without rushing!), how to instantly be a better speaker (which is a tip from @JonAcuff), and an evaluation of Allan Pease’s TEDx talk on body language.

    Of course, you’re very welcome to have a browse on my blog, and I always respond to comments.

    Please say “Hi” to Steve from everyone at St Kieran’s TM!

  2. Hi Craig,

    Great to hear from you. I've just read some of the articles on your blog and found them very helpful. I think the rest of our club will enjoy them too.
