Neil Thompson is an engineer, author, and entrepreneur. He spent several years as a product development engineer in the medical device industry. He liked his work. What he didn't like? Public speaking.
As a project lead, he had to give monthly project status presentations in front of senior management, and he was terrible at it. Over time, though, he improved, taking everything he learned and turning it into an online public speaking course, Teach the Geek to Speak. He now helps people like himself, engineers and scientists, with turning their knowhow into effective presentations.
