Multitasking speechwriter works out body and mind simultaneously

More than 50 members of the Washington Speechwriters Roundtable joined attendees of Leadership Communication Days for lunch on Oct. 28 to hear the latest version of my “Speechwriting Jam Session.”

As usual, I told the scribes at the end of my session that not subscribing to Vital Speeches is malpractice for speechwriters.

Afterward, communication consultant Andrea Adleman came up and told me she gets her rhet-aural nourishment by downloading great speeches from AmericanRhetoric.com on her MP3 player and playing ‘em while she’s on the treadmill.

(I suggested she get a Castro speech, and run a marathon.) —DM
