How to Boost Your Career and Build Your Business through Public Speaking

After many years of study on different fields I see myself as having two possibilities :  either learning something new or teaching something to others every single day. The best scenario? When you can do both at the same time! How do you see yourself? Having my very own show at VoiceAmerica Business Channel (@voiceAmBusiness)  has allowed me to do that, teach and learn and then learn and teach some more.
