About

A Communication Skills Specialist, international trainer/instructor, and a published author, Frank S. Adamo's mission is to take individuals from being uncomfortable when giving presentations, or otherwise speaking in public, to becoming Spotlight Presenters, where they are knowledgeable and confident as they step into the spotlight.

Since 2002 Frank S. Adamo has been receiving enthusiastic reviews for his workshops, presentations and keynotes throughout the United States and as far away as Georgia in Eastern Europe and Indonesia in Southeast Asia.   Frank's philosophy is instilled in his recent contribution to such books Discover your Inner Strength with Brian Tracy, Ken Blanchard, and Stephen Covey; and Yes You Can! with the legendary Jim Rohn and Dr. Warren Bennis. Many organizations including the Calgary Toastmasters Leadership Institute and Lions International have engaged Frank to empower audiences through his inspirational workshop, Believe in Yourself—Achieve your Dreams.

Based on his published book, 31 Tips to Becoming an Effective Presenter, and his forthcoming book, 31 Steps to Feeling Comfortable and Being Confident when Speaking in Public, Frank applies his analytical skills as a chemist to train technical professionals to spice up technical presentations into meaningful, exciting and enlightening experiences. His passion to inspire others to be comfortable when speaking in public has empowered a multitude of technical and non-technical professionals to be relaxed, self-assured speakers with every presentation they give.

Frank has been described by audience members as “a great presenter,” “very organized,” “well prepared with moral lessons,”  “a very skillful communication coach,” “an experienced speaker who inspired and encouraged one’s true self,” “extremely motivational,” “truly trained and professional,”  “very dedicated person ,“ “talented writer, researcher, speaker.” The testimonial that means the most to him is: “Frank is caring and compassionate”

Ever since he was a young boy, Frank wanted to help others. Movies like To Sir, with Love, where a teacher transformed a class of juvenile delinquents into young, outstanding adults and the original 1950 Broken Arrow, where an ex-Calvary soldier befriended Cochise and the Apaches helped mold Frank’s passion to serve others with compassion. The themes from these films about personal growth, service, and acceptance of others are at the heart of every presentation he gives.

Frank has inspired others to believe in themselves, reignite their dreams, and take charge of their lives. Connect with Frank in the manner that suits you best so his workshops, keynotes, and books can benefit your audiences

Description

<p>A Jewish woman’s unconventional quest to find Jesus in modern Israel<br /><br />With candor and an intimate knowledge of the Land and its people, Bobbie Ann Cole takes you on some intriguing time travel, such as to the ceremonial slaughtering of Passover lambs in the nearby temple as Jesus died on the cross.<br />Her moving and compellingly-written personal story of making Aliyah to Israel with her husband, Butch effectively interweaves Israel’s ancient and modern history with biblical references. She reveals the challenges that have faced Jewish believers from Peter and Paul on down to the present day, including her own. The underlying antagonism of her beloved Israel towards Messianic Jews leaves her sneaking around, keeping her true identity secret.<br />A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles<br />is not about theological principals; it's about love.<br />Discover:<br />• How Jesus used Jewish festivals to underscore His message.<br />• The story of Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah.<br />• Why Jewish atheists may move to Israel but not believer Jews.<br />• Why Judaism rejects Jesus as Messiah.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I come from a technical background. I have a Master's degree in analytical chemistry and I worked in the industry for 13 years. Thereafter, I set up my own computer consulting business which I've had for more than 20 years. In all those years, I have seen hundreds of presentations and I have presented several. The vast majority have been technically enriching, and yet rather boring. Why? Because the presenters generally have years of knowledge and experience in the field of expertise, yet at the same time, little or no training or experience in giving presentations. Some say there are more than 7,000 presentations per day. How many are really effective. Because, I've been there and I now know what it takes to give effective presentations, I wrote this book as a general first 31 steps to giving effective presentations. The "31 Tips to Becoming an Effective Presenter" was specifically designed to be a quick-review, reference book for any presenter preparing for his/her presentation. The pocketbook was sized to fit conveniently into a suit pocket or a purse. The audio CD was narrated to be easily listened to while driving to a presentation or on a flight to a presentation. The book is also available in an e-book version or down loadable version for you ipod or ipad

Adamo is a gentle, intelligent soul with a <span style="font-size:12px;">profound understanding of the power of effective communications</span> and the practical experience which comes from testing and trying out various ideas on his own. I think it is a little bit of a misnomer to say that there are only 31 tips in this book. In truth, the simple tips <span style="font-size:12px;">Adamo shares with us involve multiple techniques, thoughtful questions, and checklists of important information.</span> As a paid speaker myself, I find it useful to review Adamo's tips prior to accepting a speaking engagement and to take his light, easy-to-follow book on the plane with me. While much of what he says is common sense, and standard procedure in the world of competitive Toastmasters, Adamo is one of the few people that really gets me motivated to apply these ideas in a consistent fashion. I<span style="font-size:12px;"> recommend his book with out hesitation or reservation.</span> Every professional speaker and everyone who makes a living in communications needs to have this book in their luggage.</p> <p> </p> <p align="right" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-align:right;text-indent:-.25in;font-family:'yui-tmp';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span>–<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;">         </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;">J.C.
