Event Details

Our Speaker this month is CBN-MC member Larry Tracy, author of Bring Home the Bacon: How to Deliver Persuasive Presentations that get "Buy- in" From ANY Audience

President Ronald Reagan described Larry Tracy as "An extraordinarily effective speaker." He was an Army colonel assigned to the State Department debating controversial foreign policy issues throughout the country. He is now cited as one of the top presentation skills trainers/coaches in the country in publications such as the Information Please Business Almanac and Sourcebook, published by Houghton-Mifflin, Best of the Best, published by Insight Publishing, and What to Say When... You're Dying on the Platform, published by McGraw-Hill. Larry's own highly-acclaimed book, The Shortcut to Persuasive presentations, published by Imprint Books, distills the techniques he teaches in his executive workshops, and is the text for the Oral Presentations Course at the Center for Leadership Education at Johns Hopkins University. 

He conducts his Presentation Skills in a Nutshell and Briefing the Boss workshops for corporations and government agencies, and trains corporate teams how to deliver winning oral presentations for government and commercial contracts. His coaching is not derivative classroom theory, but instead flows from his "real-world" experience. He served as Chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency's Presentations Branch--the Pentagon's top briefing team--responsible for daily intelligence presentations to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He supervised and coordinated over 500 of these multi-media, multi-screen briefings, and delivered almost 100 of them personally. Because of his speaking skills, the White House directed the Army to detail him to the State Department. He subsequently spoke and debated almost 400 times on controversial, contentious foreign policy issues before some of the most demanding, frequently hostile, audiences in the country, leading to the comment from President Reagan.
