Presenter:
L.D. “Lucky Lindy” Segall is a professional speaker and presentations coach from Austin, Texas. As the principal behind “Professionally Speaking,” he’s best known for a relentless dedication to helping individuals express themselves clearly and authentically while telling a memorable story. After 25 years of professional practice (and he says it’s ALL practice), Segall claims to have discovered a nice balance between making a living and making a difference. His clients include Motorola, GSD&M and Dell, and he has taught executive classes at the University of Texas at Austin, St. Edwards University and his alma mater, Texas Christian University. The Austin Chamber of Commerce named him “Professional of the Year,” the Ad Society their “Best Speaker” and most recently, the Association for Women in Communications, “Mentor of the Year.”
