(Click here for a "One Sheet" of this speech)
Many people struggle with shyness or being overly intimidated by others in some area of their lives whether it is in business or personal relationships. This speech gives tips on getting over shyness, being assertive but not aggressive, having appropriate boundaries, and tips on performance and public speaking. As a professional musician Dennis started out as a very shy person on stage and off, always afraid to be and reveal his true self and feelings. This progressed to years spent suffering with agoraphobia. He's conquered these fears and insecurities to the point of having a successful career as a musician ... even a front man on stage... and a speaker, having performed on the biggest stages, and being a guest on many TV shows and radio, even performing in front of 350,000 people at Cal Jam II in Southern California while a member of his own band, Rubicon. In this speech he passes on how that transition can be made and how a person can feel confident on stage and in life with others.

An alcohol and drug awareness speech by a professional musician whose been in top name bands and knows first hand the dangers of abusing drugs and alcohol. Do you know how people sometimes ruin their career, health, finances, relationships and even die from overdoses or alcohol/drug related accidents? Dennis Marcellino's "Better Than Alcohol and Drugs" speech shows how to not be vulnerable to falling into the tragedies that often come from abusing alcohol and drugs. Dennis' speech includes "sobering" facts on the real dangers associated with abusing alcohol and drugs.

He has some moving pertinent personal stories to share as well. Dennis is the author of Sweeping It Under The Drug and Addiction Free Forever.

What Dennis can bring to your group
Hearing speaker after speaker can become stressful, wearying and lose the desired effect: retention. Dennis has come up with a formula to solve this problem that proved to be a big success with the Fred Meyer Corporation for 7 years. It has 4 potential components to it.
(1) A musical “kick off” to energize the attendees, including him singing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” (as a former member of the band that had that hit) and a rousing song on the sax. (Dennis has quotes that say he’s the best sax player in the world).
(2) With company insiders, Dennis wrote custom mini-parodies to popular songs for each executive (when bringing them up to speak), and each department (with the department heads coming up to sing their custom song), and for the company in general.
(3) There could be a party the night before, where everyone gets to rehearse their parts.
(4) There can be a party afterwards, where Dennis performs a little and then breaks it out into a Karaoke/Choiroke session of mostly oldies with lyric books, helped along by Dennis. All of these songs are especially popular with today’s executives who are mostly Dennis’ age. A great time is usually had by all :-)
In addition, Dennis can offer dinner music (mostly easy-listening jazz, based on the fact that he’s had an internationally bestselling jazz CD), dance music (as a DJ or a band),
