"I really enjoyed your presentation, giving away some of the 'secrets' of the professional speaker:

1. How to relax yourself so that your audience will relax with you. One item you cleared up immediately: the idea that if I make jokes, no one will take me seriously. The key you used to expose this untruth: your jokes instantly converted your audience into a
   like-minded community; when we all laughed, we were agreeing with you about why those particular jokes are funny!
2. How to reduce complex statements to short, pithy sound bites which the audience will easily remember. When you gave several examples, it seemed as if half the audience chanted each sound bite phrase along with you.
3. How to get a good, strong rhythm under your words.
   Primal Delivery: making words jab into our ears. People listen to your words, but respond to your rhythm.

"Your program was informative, funny & enjoyable!"
Michael DeProto, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, Guerneville, California

"I heard many great comments about your presentation!
Sally Shawler, Business Manager, CARE WEST NURSING, Petaluma, California

"You helped demystify the process of speaking in public. The women enjoyed your talk; but equally important, we all came away with specific and practical tips that will be useful when making our own presentations, or simply telling a joke among friends. The principles you shared such as How to Make an Audience Like You A Lot, Pausing After Telling a Joke and What to Do About The FACE will be remembered and practiced! Thanks for your help!"
Mary Ann Mayo, bookstore owner, A WOMAN'S PLACE, Sebastopol, California

"Thank you for your informative and enlightening talk. And especially for sharing your many personal experiences: bringing Humor to the Work Place and into our daily lives; learning about your comedy coaching and our passion for laughing!"

"Jim Richardson is a powerful speaker and humorist, a remarkable world-class lecturer. He combines essential information with keen enthusiasm and tasteful humor. Jim demonstrates how to use the sound bite in daily and academic work. How to get back in the ring and fight-the-good-fight. Short, positive arguments that WIN! I strongly and unequivocally recommend Mr. Richardson!"
