Our work with TED exemplifies what Speech Labs wants to be: a coaching resource for industry leaders and a tool for even the country's top public speakers to continue to improve.
"Seth Gannon’s workshop on how to represent positions regarding some of the most hotly debated topics in early childhood education was an inspirational and energizing experience for my entire team. He immediately captured everyone’s attention and interest, and by the end of the session they were hanging on to every word. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire team felt that it was the most engaging and productive team activity that we have ever had. Even today, almost 2 months out, my team is still talking about what a great day it was and how much they learned from and appreciated Seth’s leadership, insights, and perspective."
– Dr. Elanna Yalow, Chief Academic Officer, KinderCare
