him...
"Allan Kaufman helps people overcome their number-one fear—a
fear that may paralyze them and keep them from achieving goals.
A fear that's greater than the prospect of death, the fear of
speaking in public."
Allan believes that communications is one of the most important
skills to master.
"Learning to communicate is like taking out an insurance
policy. You never know when you’ll need it, but it’s too late
to take it out after you need it." (Allan Kaufman as
quoted in Baltimore Magazine)
Allan's an innovative seminar leader. His approach to communications
training is unique, exciting and results in noticeable skills
improvement.
As Alan E. Harrison, Director of Facilities, National Aquarium
in Baltimore, said about one of Allan's courses...
"What a great course! How to
Speak with Confidence was of great benefit to me. I
not only learned how to improve my speaking techniques but also
how to listen more effectively. Your enthusiasm and energy were
felt by all of us in the class."
