| Introduction | My fascination with communication began when I took a Public Speaking course at Millsaps College. When I learned that I could change someone’s opinion and behavior with a twenty minute speech, that astounded me. I decided, “Here’s something worth devoting my life to.” My next step: Earning the M.A. and Ph.D. at Ohio University. Then I taught Speech Communication for five years at the University of Georgia. To put my communication training into practice, I became an administrator for more than two decades, as vice president of three colleges and a medical center. All that time, I “moonlighted,” writing articles for newspapers and magazines, serving as a weekend radio DJ, narrating TV specials, acting—anything connected with communication. So I have learned as much outside the classroom as I learned inside. In 1996, I formed my company, Championship Communication. I wrote my book, The Complete Communicator: Change Your Communication, Change Your Life! Now my communication career is in full swing as a speaker, business consultant, seminar leader and coach.
