Mr. Nishar, 40, in January will become vice president of product strategy for the social network that is focused on professionals.

David,
Your class was excellent! You have proved yourself a master of speaking professionalism. You shared your path to success in a completely authentic manner, while giving participants the opportunity to question, comment and laugh together. I’m so highly impressed with you and your style. In my opinion, you are the master teacher of speaking worldwide. I can think of no other individual who can share so powerfully about the speaking profession and the skills needed to nurture to get to the top.
Where you can inject an infectious passion, energy and knowledge to make a real difference in the lives of others?
