I've been teaching communication skills both online and off since 2002 when I wrote my first study for homeschoolers called Say What You Mean for Teens! From there, I created this website where I have written several homeschool speech communication materials, several studies for adults, and written hundreds of blog posts! I've had several of my articles published by homeschool magazines like The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and Homeschooling Today and several of those articles have been picked up by Crosswalk .com and Dr Laura .com. Art of Eloquence materials have been awarded "Homeschool Approved" by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and are endorsed by the Home School Legal Defense Association which links to my materials from their site.

DATELINE ART OF ELOQUENCE!.....BREAKING NEWS! The new year is fast approaching and I have a lot of changes planned. Here are the headlines: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 2013 Video Countdown to CHRISTmas ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I know many of you look forward to my Video Countdown to CHRISTmas every year here on the Art of Eloquence blog.

Communication Reviews: Reviews of TV shows, movies, commercials, Facebook trends, etc! Ask JoJo: Submit your communication question to...
Announcement: Due to my health issues, I will only be writing posts for the Art of Eloquence blog once a month. If you would like more information, tips and free gifts, please subscribe to our twice monthly newsletter. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Have you noticed that some of social media posts will garner tons of "likes," retweets, shares, and comments, but others...well...they just don't? It seemed to me that the ones that are the most important are commonly in the latter group. Frustrated, I looked deeper into this issue and was surprised by what I found. I think you will be too, but it's an important communication lesson for us all in the Technological Age. By the way, I encourage you to read...
