Priscillla Richardson I am a recovering attorney, meaning I am licensed to practice law in Virginia but I’d much rather write and speak. I started my writing and speaking career by doing, because there’s a tremendous need that’s just not being met. Look at all the people you know who would rather die than get up to make even a short report to a group. Or who moan and sweat over writing that report. It’s not easy to find someone who can help you communicate successfully – without adding more pain to the process. First I published articles as a freelancer for magazines such as Woman’s Day, and in between I did professional speaking. More recently, I wrote about Botetourt county folks for 6 and half years for the Botetourt View. Today, with over one hundred forty articles (and more coming all the time) I have appeared in print media as varied as Successful Meetings and The Practicing CPA, and in e-zines such as Worldprofit Magazine and the Prosperous Living Crusader. As a speaker for clients such as Roanoke City Engineering Department, Hanover Direct, Litton Network Access Systems and the National Association of Women Business Owners, I like to start by telling audiences “your ideas will be turned up-side-down.” Then I lead them into new — and easier — approaches Speak Don't Freak
