We recently interviewed Kelly Hadous about her group Present to Persuade.

Present to Persuade teaches interactive workshops on leadership, public speaking and media training. The techniques are based in theater arts, psychology and business. The group is for people who are interested in obtaining a more commanding presence and desire a persuasive speaking voice to communicate their objectives and accomplish their goals.

DIIP: When and why did you start this group/organization?

KH:  I saw a need for professionals to communicate more effectively, especially now that we have many CEO's who don't have the proper communications training that is required to represent themselves and their company favorably.

DIIP: What type of events do you have and how often are they held (i.e. pitch parties, seminars, conferences, happy hours)?

KH:  Present to Persuade hosts monthly interactive workshops.

DIIP: What is your value proposition to those that attend?

KH:  People walk away with a skill set.

DIIP: What makes your group unique or different from other groups?

KH:  I combine my academic and work experiences of acting along with my background as a securities trader. I also specialize in voice and speech.

DIIP: Why do you think it is so important for people to go out to your events and “do it in person?”

KH:  It's better to be out communicating and representing yourself in the best light as possible.
