Speaking skills lands John Graden on the Dr. Oz Show.
In support of my book, The Impostor Syndrome, I recorded and posted a short video on How to Build Self-Confidence on YouTube.
The next day, I was contacted by someone who said “I’m a friend of Dr. Oz. You’re an excellent speaker. People need to hear your message. I’m sure I can get you on the Dr. Oz Show.”
Six months later, my wife and I were in New York for my guest spot on The Dr. Oz Show.
I’ll teach you the speaking skills that put me in this picture.

Testimonial
“John Graden connects in a unique one-on-one, hands-on manner that likely stems from his decades of martial arts instruction. He thoroughly engages everyone in the class which increases active participation by all. He introduces and reinforces the principles of his workshop in a way that is absent in typical lecture-style public speaking seminars. This unique style aids in the retention of the material and helps participants quickly incorporate what they learn. I wholeheartedly recommend John Graden’s speaking workshops.”
