Are You Interested In Enhancing Your Career Prospects by Becoming A Better Public Speaker?

Hello, my name is William Hazelwood. In addition to working as a Producer/ Director and Commentator for CBS NEWS and Sports, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, I also taught public speaking skills and media performance. Some former students have gone on to experience a great deal of success in their careers, not in small part due to their ability to communicate with confidence in key situations regardless of their language of origin.



Practice, prepare
and be ready to present effectively.

As an Emmy award winning television Producer and Director for over twenty-five years, I directed live network news broadcasts, various cultural programs
and international corporate teleconferences. Consequently, I've coached individuals with various levels of ability to deliver live and pre-recorded messages.


Often, prep-time was in short supply. Consequently, I needed to become adept at listening to people, quickly sizing up how to maximize their abilities and devising ways to bring out the best in them. These experiences taught me how to help just about anyone, whether experienced or a beginner, become a better speaker.

Let me know if you are going to have an interview or make a presentation soon or want to improve your public speaking and media interview skills in general. Our team of coaches has the experience and skills necessary to get you to the next level of excellent speech quickly.

When you need assistance with your next public speech or presentation, I can work with you to get the results you want.

In person or via web cam video conferencing, I can assist you in quickly polishing your public speaking and presentations skills whether you plan on talking to colleagues, teammates, employees, stockholders, club members or any other group with whom you need to communicate clearly, effectively and with maximum impact. I guarantee you will be a better public speaker after just one coaching session.
