She was a finalist at The World Championship of Public Speaking in Las Vegas in 2011 and out of 30,000 contestants; she placed as the top woman and the first District 59er ever to reach the finals. Schofield is the founder of Spectacular Speaking, a company dedicated to raising the standard of public speakers and their presentations. She is also a speech coach and TEDX speaker.
Schofield will show us how to give our speeches impact that remains long after you’ve left the stage.
