Our History
We created authorityspeaking.com in the Spring of 2014 as a workshop, known as "S.P.E.A.K. up!" Since then, we have expanded to offer you fun coaching sessions, books, and other helpful resources. We pride ourselves on encouraging and helping you become the effective communicator that captivates your audience at work, on stage, and in your life!
Since our inception, all educational resources have been carefully crafted by Steve Alexander, Jr. There is no outsourcing done at authorityspeaking.com, which means you get Steve every single time.
