But it doesn’t need to be so scary. When you learn some simple techniques, you can begin to get over that fear and become not only more comfortable with public speaking, but even really good at it.

At the Sept. 13 AultCare Fast Break Breakfast, award wining speaker, author and presentation coach Maureen Zappala, will teach you a thing or three about how to throttle up your speaking skills.

The September AultCare Fast Break Breakfast, presented by the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, is happening on Friday, Sept. 13. Registration begins at 7 a.m. with the program and breakfast following at 7:30 a.m. The Canton Regional Chamber's AultCare Fast Break Breakfasts are held at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 4375 Metro Circle in North Canton.

Beyond this important segment of the program, Fast Break attendees have the opportunity to obtain business leads through enjoyable networking activities at an event that has built a reputation as one of the most energetic lead-producing sessions around.
