Linda K. Stough - With a Masters of Fine Arts in Speech and Theater and 25 years of teaching experience in English, Speech and Drama on the high school and college level, Linda makes the perfect person to instruct those in business in the somewhat terrifying art of public speaking. Her approachable nature, humorous analogies and ability to partner with her students to get them beyond their trepidations prompted one student to dub her “the guru of vocal communication”.  In the mid 80’s she received critical acclaim for her class "Speech for the Business Professional" at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Today, organizations throughout the United States are benefiting from her Write Correctly seminars. Linda removes the “bad taste” elementary school grammar classes left and expertly reintroduces the student to the practical rules that most wish they had heeded those many years ago. She is currently teaching Composition, Rhetoric and Argumentation, Group Dynamic, and Portfolio at ITT-Technical College.
