  • Trains new machinists on the job by talking them through setups; self-taught at speaking

Community instructor · a local volunteer, materials reviewed by the program

Randy didn't set out to get good at this. He avoided speaking like everybody else until he got called to teach a room of teenage boys every Sunday and had to figure it out fast.

What fixed him was his day job. He trains new machinists by walking them through a setup out loud, and he realized a talk is the same thing. Break it into steps, say it plainly, don't dress it up.

He's coached his own kids through interviews and presentations, so he's tested this stuff on real nervous people. He teaches the small-room, speak-up-at-work-or-church stuff because that's what he actually knows.
