Speak Simple: Speak Simple - Stop Presenting, Start Interpreting to Speak Simple - The Art of Simplifying Technical Presentations Paperback - 2013

Erica is a frequent speaker, interpreter, and presentation coach that helps her clients become comfortable when presenting and relate with their audience. Before founding Speak Simple (www.Speak-Simple.com), Erica crafted her skills working with Audubon Zoo's Outreach Education programs including Zoomobile and Wetlands Express. Over her five years working with the zoo, she gave over a thousand presentations to audiences ranging from toddlers to retirees and everything in between. Erica is an expert when it comes to interpreting complex terminology and technical lingo. She learned the do's and don'ts of presentations not only by doing, but by coaching youth and adult volunteers as they shared their animal knowledge to zoo visitors and audience members. Erica's company, Speak Simple, works with professionals, in particular technical professionals like engineers, doctors, constructors, marketers, and technology experts to ensure they are understood by their prospects and clients and win more work through presentations. Erica is a lifetime resident of the New Orleans area and a graduate of the University of New Orleans (UNO). When she is not blogging about presentations, she enjoys gardening, "greening" her house, and spending time with her husband and husky, Jasper. She has a bit of an obsession with hawks and owls, but no worries, she makes it very interesting and simple.
