I found out a couple of weeks ago that one of the the finest public speakers and motivators I’ve ever listened to passed away. About a year and a half ago he was kind enough to let me interview him for our site. Here is reprise of my blog post at the time and a link to the interview.

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of interviewing the legendary motivational speaker Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones about the importance of developing effective public speaking skills. Charlie, as always, was gracious, passionate, and provided unique insights. If you want to develop public speaking skills, or improve your existing ones, before giving your next speech be sure to listen to it by clicking here. For those of you who don’t know Charlie, he is a pioneer in the leadership training and personal development industries. He entered the insurance business at age 22, with MONY. At age 23, he was awarded his agency’s Most Valuable Associate Award. Ten years later, he received his company’s highest management award for recruiting, manpower and development, and business management. In 1965, he founded Life Management Services to share his experience through seminars and consulting services. Thousands of audiences around the world have experienced non-stop laughter as his ideas about life’s most challenging situations in business and at home. Two of his speeches, "The Price of Leadership" and "Where Does Leadership Begin?" have been enjoyed by millions. He is the author and editor of nine books, including Life is Tremendous with more than 2,000,000 copies in print in 12 languages. He is featured in numerous books and has received more awards then I can possibly recount in this blog. Click here to listen to the interview.
