There's No Such Thing as Public Speaking

For over two decades, the Henderson partnership has kept the couple together nearly every moment of every day, enjoying a twenty-four/seven relationship which both say is"never boring"!

Roy Henderson is in his seventh decade of experience in the art of presentation and the study of audience psychology, beginning with his first professional contract as a singer/dancer with the British Armed Forced Entertainment Unit when he was just 19, then later earning his baccalaureate degrees in drama, psychology and acting from the University of London and the Central School of Speech and Drama. As an actor, director and alumnus of the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company, he has created, directed, performed and advised presentations of all kinds on five continents. His proudest acting performance was in the title role of "Henry VIII" for Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family at Windsor Castle during her Silver Jubilee Celebration.

Jeanette Henderson's presentational career began at the ripe old age of seven, and has been augmented by another forty-plus years of communications education and experience. She has been the writer, producer, stage manager and performer of countless radio, television, and theatrical productions and political speeches. She is a widely published writer and columnist, a political commentator, and is Special Correspondent for "Viewpoints", a public radio talk program in Middle Tennessee.

Since 1988, the Hendersons have devoted much of their time to coaching industrialists, community leaders, attorneys, physicians, politicians and graduate actors in the improvement of their applicable presentation skills. They have shared their presentational skills with the top executives of Procter & Gamble, the National Pharmaceutical Council, Fleishman Hilliard Public Relations, the Burt Reynolds Institute for Theatre Training, the University of Northern Arizona, Universal Productions, and scores of others. Most notably, Roy and Jeanette have served as the Official Speech Coach and Presentation Advisor for every REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION since 1992, and have consulted for countless political campaigns.

While they have a home on an isolated mountaintop in Tennessee, they spend much of their time traveling for their company Podium Master, which provides speech coaching, consultation, and training in the presentational arts to clients of all kinds. They also hold Podium Master Retreats at a nearby mountain lodge in historic Beersheba Springs, TN, for companies wishing to escape from the distractions of business while they learn new skills.
