In 1978, Winston Churchill II revealed to James Humes his grandfather’s secrets in making a presentation.  These five principles of the century’s greatest speaker are explained in this talk by James Humes.  In this talk Humes brings in his own experiences of writing for five U.S. presidents and how they followed – failed to follow – these principles.

Peggy Noonan Called Humes the “Dean of American Speechwriters” and entitled a whole chapter in one of her recent books, “Humes.”  Chris Matthews hailed James Humes as “one of America’s greatest speakers.”

There is no one else in America who has been a speechwriter for five presidents, authored ten books on the arts of communication, and has taught for 25 years an M.B.A. course in executive communication.  James Humes has delivered this “Sir Winston Method” in all 50 states and Canada, Britain, the Netherlands, Greece, Switzerland and Hong Kong as well.  He was once the featured speaker for Fortune’s 500 Top CEOs.

James Humes’ presentation is entertaining, but more importantly, it’s instructive.  You will carry away Churchill’s five principles for making a winning presentation and be able to apply them for the rest of your life.
