<p>“&#8221;Jim Cathcart is hands down the coach of coaches for presentation skills. Decades of public speaking experience in every imaginable venue and configuration, a wealth of practical references, great stories and infectious humor make Jim a one-stop-shop. His lively coaching sessions have been invaluable to me for both content development and building rapport by tailoring to a target audience &#8211; and they&#8217;re always great fun in the process! An hour or two with Jim can save countless more, bringing clarity and professional polish for a presentation to be remembered!&#8221;</p>

Jim is able to craft a presentation so that, in addition to being entertaining and highly educational, it comes together with eloquent structure. All the elements of the talk are so well integrated that, at the end, the audience is often stunned by Jim&#8217;s excellence on the platform.

<p>This video will show you what the Speaker Hall of Fame Award, the &#8220;Council of Peers Award for Excellence&#8221; or CPAE is all about. In 1985 I was one of five people so honored. The photo below was taken only a few years ago as I was introducing one of the latest inductees.</p>
<p><a title="Video about the Speaker Hall of Fame 3 mins" href="http://youtu.be/BjOxXJAaWJU" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3566" title="Jim at Awards Banquet 2007" src="http://cathcart.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Jim-3-at-Awards-Banquet-2007.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>Click on the photo to access the YouTube video that shows and describes this special award and the many people who have received it over the years. Of the 4,000+ who have been members of NSA at its peak enrollment only around 200 people have received this designation. There are currently 130 living CPAEs listed on<a title="The National Speakers Association" href="http://www.nsaspeaker.org" target="_blank"> NSA&#8217;s website</a>.</p>
