As part of Soltesz’s ongoing commitment to professional development for its employees, the firm recently sponsored a class titled “Speaking with Confidence.” Presented by Christine Clapp, the focus of the class was on building executive presence and developing impromptu speaking strategies, with the goal to provide tools and tips to ensure clarity and composure whenever expressing oneself.

Christine Clapp is an author, speaker, consultant, and former professor whose workshops and consulting engagements have helped thousands of people craft memorable presentations and deliver them with confidence. The seminar hosted for Soltesz employees was no exception, delivering an interactive, dynamic, and resourceful platform to assist participants with public speaking techniques and strengthen their leadership qualities.

The seminar received very positive feedback from Soltesz employees:

“Well done and very useful. I would recommend it for everyone here. The techniques germane to both personal speaking and telephone conversations.”

“This was the best seminar I have ever taken. Christine had just the right balance of presentation and hands on practice, and she was really easy to listen to and hear because of her skills.”
