Hi Reader,

No matter what you may think about Bill Clinton, the man knows how to give a presentation. Even his worst enemies would have to admit that he knows how to reach an audience and get his point across.

So how about you? Are you as smooth as an ex-president, or as shaky as a card table when you have to give a presentation?

Well, sometimes you just have to do it. So this month, we're giving you six tips for turning yourself into a better--if not great--public speaker. Painlessly.

Hope you find this helpful!

The survey is made up of seven questions that will take you no longer than three minutes to complete.

Reader, your input is very important to this research, and I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to share it!
