You’ve now worked through six lessons designed to shape up your speech. If I’ve succeeded in my goal for this course, you’re now able to speak more confidently and better able to communicate with your listeners - and this improved ability to communicate is already translating into more success for you in your business, job or profession.
However, you know how easy it is to fall back into sloppy speech habits. We have a lot of things going on, and other things to pay attention to. If you need or want to go back and review a particular speech problem, this list of skills covered by each speech lesson will help you find the speech problem you want to go back and work on.

Meet with your Speech Monitor or Monitors. Thank him or her for helping you work through the various speech exercises. Have him or her read through your self-evaluation and agree or disagree with how you’ve evaluated your progress. Then sit back and relax. You’ve completed the Speak For Success Course!
