Reid spoke at an Open House for my club, Capital Communicators Toastmasters, and did such a great job that 4 people said they want to join. I have had the pleasure of being coached by Reid when I was competing for the International Speech contest a few years ago. He is a great coach who taught me a variety of techniques that I use on a regular basis.

Reid’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious and everyone walked out of the workshop with a lot more confidence and excitement than we could’ve ever imagined! Reid was able to get 100% participation during the “Make Eye Contact” and “Use Body Language” portion of his ‘Be Yourself On Stage’ workshop and he even brought I Love Lucy back to life, providing us with that sitcom’s entire stage set-up and how you can effectively “Use Your Stage” while you speak!

Reid’s interactive talk on addressing fear in public speaking offered great insight into specific tactics and practices that speakers can introduce into their speeches at Toastmasters. He covered some of the physical aspects that get us sometime — from addressing the butterflies, managing a comfortable stance, and the dealing with the shakes. He used examples from his own experience and showed us what to do by having audience members come up and share. A great perspective on public speaking and a friendly, informative format.

Reid presented a 45-minute session on using body language in speeches at my club. He put an unusual spin on the topic and approached it from a very useful perspective for our members by discussing not just how to use body language to illustrate your points, but also how to use body language to overcome anxiety about speaking. Reid gave a professional presentation, engaged the audience, and handled questions well. We would absolutely recommend and invite him back!
