Dr.
M. Tina Dupree has said, “Any business works, if you work it.”
She
has been hired to speak to, motivate, and train people in all sorts
of businesses. She has trained and certified more than 150 public
speakers and has inspired countless people to achieve their goals.
But...why,
you ask, is the day that honors her called “National Chicken
Lady Day?”
Dr.
Dupree worked for more than a decade in one of the highest level
positions for a major fast food chicken restaurant chain. She also
worked extensively in communities, giving presentations to high
schools and universities and other organizations. Because of her
community involvement and her association with the chicken
restaurant, she has been (lovingly) nicknamed “the Chicken Lady.”
And when (in 2001) President Bush met her in the Oval Office, to
congratulate her on her great work for education and public speaking,
he announced November 4 as National Chicken Lady Day.
You,
too, can learn public speaking skills. Try the website Public Speaking for Kids. There are also a whole lot of “Public Speaking Tip for Kids”
videos. Here's one to try.
