"The stories were touching, the messages were motivating, and it created the open-minded feeling we wanted for the rest of the event. Equally special were the interactive games you led us through in the middle of the program.  Some tables were laughing so hard at their unexpected creativity!

“Milo Shapiro made this one hour mini-workshop well worth the cost of the entire seminar. He captured the attention of the attendees and held it throughout... "Some of the stand-out moments were how to frame a speech through your four sections approach, your seven variants of vocal variety, approaches to Q&A...and techniques for pacing time accurately.
