Art of Eloquence is all about sharing the Communication FUNdamentals and we do that each year in creative and unique ways. Though we do sell a variety of eBooks and digital products that teach preschoolers through adults various topics within speech communication, we are mostly a ministry.

One of the ways we love to serve is by hosting various seminars throughout the year on the Art of Eloquence Workshop and Seminar Channel on TalkShoe! We are planning a fabulous line up of seminars and workshops featuring a variety of co hosts and panels of speakers to help you become more effective communicators both in...

According to Merriam Webster, speech is: "1a : the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words b : exchange of spoken words : conversation 2a...
2010 has been an incredibly busy year, mostly due to our rigid writing schedule. I think, at last count, I wrote over 50 articles, 13 eBooks and did about 10 seminars. Here's what else God has allowed us to accomplish this year: We completely revamped our website to make it more user-friendly and packed it with a TON more information!
