Matthew Leach TV Broadcast & Communication Professional

If giving a public speech or presentation sounds like the last thing you'd want to do right now, you're in good company. Roughly 75% of the global population shares this same fear. But what if I told you that while this fear might never go away, it can become more manageable? My name is Matt Leach and I am an Emmy-winning TV Weatherman and Professor of Communication at Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My job revolves around public speaking and effective/professional communication. I have yet to work with a student or client who is a hopeless public speaker. I will challenge and push anyone who works with me to step out of their comfort zone, tap into their heart, organize their ideas, and speak fearlessly. As I tell my students, you may never come away loving public speaking, but give yourself a chance—the more you practice, and the more tools you have under your belt, the stronger and more effective you will be as a public communicator.
