Yvonne Mason is adding successful speaker to her list of ever growing talents

Yvonne Mason has been donating her time to motivational and educational speaking engagements. She
recently gave a presentation at the Indian River Community College (IRCC) to the Public Speaking Class
on “How to Sell One’s Self in the Business World”.

Before giving her presentation, she reminded the class that every day we use our skills as a public speaker,
not just when we are in front of an audience. Citing such examples as buying a car, applying for a job or
even inviting a friend to a party, the class sat in rapt attention taking note that every time we have a
conversation, it really is public speaking. “I think it really is important to point out these examples as it
helps to take away the fear of speaking in public which many have,” Ms. Mason stated.

Using her latest novel Tangled Minds and her short story featured in the From the Shadows anthology,
she illustrated the art of selling one’s product. Passing around the books, her enthusiasm for her writing
was clearly evident as she gave a brief overview of each. Reading excerpts as well as glowing reviews, the
students clearly hung on to every word.

Apparently her speech was a huge success - after class, she sold every book and ended up taking orders for
more.

Yvonne has a wonderful philosophy in life which she calls paying it forward. “I can't repay those who
have helped me learn to be a good speaker, however, I can pay it forward and in turn teach the same to
others,” Ms. Mason stated.

This is the second year she was invited back to IRCC to give a speech. Last year’s lecture was entitled
“How to Reach Your Goals - It’s Never Too Late” which was presented to adult women returning to school
to become professionals in different fields.
