About Don E. Smith, The Speech Tamer:

In the heart of a bustling household, amidst nightly “food for thought” dinner table discussions, I discovered my passion for the spoken word. Conversations that ranged from politics to finance, sports to morality, fostered a fertile ground for me to develop the art of articulating my thoughts with clarity and conviction.

Fueled by these early experiences, my collegiate years were marked by remarkable achievements in forensic speech competitions and triumphant victories with the debate team. These accolades further ignited my fervor for effective communication, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment to mastering this craft.

My journey through the world of Toastmasters International spanned over twenty-five years, during which he I earned recognition as an Evaluation Champion, a club mentor, and a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM). Through my coaching career as The Speech Whiz, I have spent more than two decades helping leaders, entrepreneurs and aspiring speakers hone their messages and platform skills.

Embodying an entrepreneurial spirit, I ventured into various fields, including entertainment production, financial services, graphic communication, and foodstuffs. These diverse experiences provide me with a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge, enriching my coaching practice.

As a respected faculty member of the American Management Association, I specialize in communication-based seminars. Currently, as The Speech Tamer, I am dedicating my efforts to addressing the growing needs of leaders, professionls, business owners, and representatives by guiding them to achieve greater impact through their speaking opportunities. Trained and certified in NLP by Neuro Strategies, Inc., and having received coach training from CoachU, I bring a comprehensive skill set to my practice.

Passionate about the spoken word, I am on a mission to enable individuals to reach their full potential by mastering the art of impactful communication. I invite you to join me on this transformative journey and discover how to leverage the power of your words to speak with confidence and clarity.
