One of my favorite holidays is coming right up on September 19th – Talk Like a Pirate Day! Do you want to talk like a pirate? Or at least communicate with the boldness and conviction of a pirate? ARRRRRRRR you kidding me?! Of course, you want to! It just so happens that our guest speaker for the upcoming Sundowner at Catalyst Ranch is Brian Burkhart from SquarePlanet Presentations & Strategy, and the SquarePlanet folks are believers in talking like a pirate!
Visit the SquarePlanet Presentations & Strategy website and you’ll see the following quote from Steve Jobs, “Why join the Navy when you can be a pirate?” SquarePlanet explains that “the beliefs Jobs had for his products kept the team’s creative spirit alive and gave them the wherewithal to develop something truly amazing for its time.” SquarePlanet points out that “being a pirate makes communication way more fun and effective.” Pirates are certainly bold, and they have thrilling tales to tell. The superstars at SquarePlanet can train you to speak like a pirate in your presentations, “so you can spread your beliefs to the world.”
