J.T Dabbagian’s Summary

I currently moonlight as an independent writing & speaking expert, with a primary specialty in blogging. I consider myself a good blogosphere citizen, and often write about the blogging condition. My areas of specialty include blogging tips, productivity, Getting Things Done (GTD,) personal development, and advice on being a freelancer.

I also offer services as a speechwriter and speech coach. I'm a teacher at CSU Long Beach, instructing people in how to speak and present their issues. In addition, I also act as a coach for CSULB's Speech & Debate Team. My speech was selected to be one of the commencement speeches at my graduation at Los Angeles Valley College, and judging from the response I got from my fellow graduates, I put the other speakers to shame! I've had years of experience in putting speeches together, and I can definitely help you with your speaking needs!
