Meet The Speakers
Deborah Shames
Deborah is passionate about speaking and training. That’s why she wrote or co-wrote four books on communication and public speaking, including the business best-seller Own the Room.
And because Deborah ran a successful film company in Sausalito, CA. for fourteen years, she knows how difficult it is for women to stand out and succeed. Her latest book is Out Front: How Women Can Become Engaging, Memorable and Fearless Speakers. She walks the talk by speaking regularly across the country to motivate and inspire professional women.
David Booth
David is Welsh. Language, music and poetry are in his blood. As a classically trained actor, he appeared on stage, in film, and on television as a guest star. He acted in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Berkeley Rep, and the Tennessee Williams Center.
David leveraged his performance skills as a corporate spokesman and represented Siemens, Cisco, Chevron and others worldwide. He narrated over two hundred training films and coached business colleagues and clients on how to better present.
David & Deborah
When you engage speakers, you want sizzle, steak, and ROI. Why bore your team or clients with old-fashioned, overly technical, or impersonal presentations? Eloqui delivers a mix of interactivity, observational humor, and cutting-edge insights. There’s a reason Eloqui speakers consistently receive the highest evaluations at conferences and off-sites.
Being entertaining keeps audiences engaged. Eloqui speakers are trained to inspire and motivate, while delivering practical skills that attendees can implement the moment they leave the room.
Eloqui also enlists the talents of our other trainers, including Derric Walker speaking on the importance of non-profits for youth. And Jocelyn Singer-Sargent on maximizing people's potential.
