Successful negotiators and leaders generally credit their skills to learning best practices from others.
This past weekend I was fortunate to attend the National Speakers Association CSP/CPAE Summit. The event was held In Minneapolis, Minnesota, and designed for speakers holding the Certified Speaking Professional designation and/or recognition in the CPAE/Hall of Fame.
