Jay Speyerer has been a speaker, a writer,
and an educator for more than 30 years, successfully helping people
achieve their goals in memoir writing, e-mail issues, cross-cultural
communication, and presentation skills.
For fact fans, Jay was on the faculty
of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, teaching photography, communication,
and non-linear scriptwriting, among other subjects. After 25 years,
he decided to leave education and run Legacy Road Communications
full time. As a speaker and un-trainer, he still gets to stand
at the front of the room and tell people what to do. He's just
taken his act on the road.
Jay is the un-trainer because he never
uses PowerPoint. That's one reason his audiences give him high
ratings. Some of Jay's audiences include Avon, Armstrong County
Memorial Hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, Ametek, VisitPittsburgh,
California University of PA, genealogists and family historians
at conventions in Pennsylvania and Utah, and many others.
Recently, Jay has added to his memoir
repertoire by initiating his Private Printings. This is an individual
collection of your family stories, privately printed in a hardbound
book, just for you. Read more here.
Jay is also finding himself in demand
as a speech doctor, adding humor and clarity to presentations
in the unique style of the individual presenter. He's accustomed
to putting words in people's mouths from years of writing fiction
and screenplays, so this talent comes naturally.
Jay is the immediate past-president of
the National Speakers Association/Pittsburgh chapter, and he is
the author of three books, Cat Got Your Thumb?, Cat Got Your
Treadmill?, and The Stories of Our Days, and he
created The Story System: The Guide to the Methodical Memoir.
