On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, public speaking coach Amy Ayoub will make a special presentation for the continuing legal education of Nevada lawyers in a lunchtime learning program produced by the Clark County Bar Association and sponsored by the Bank of Nevada and Las Vegas Legal Video

Amy Ayoub, a lifelong Las Vegan, combined her passion for public speaking and helping others when creating The Zen Speaker, a public speaking coaching company. Amy helps clients on their journey to share their stories, find peace behind the podium, and move audiences to action.

Amy has been appointed by various Nevada governors and senators to four state and federal commissions. She was the first female appointed to the Athletic Commission, better known as the boxing commission. In February 2013, she testified before the Nevada State Assembly and Senate Judiciary Committees, using her personally inspiring survivor story in support of Assembly Bill 67, which increased penalties for those convicted of sex trafficking.

Her life story is one of resilience, inspiration, and accomplishment and has prompted Culture Dog Films to produce a documentary, The Zen Speaker: Breaking the Silence, that is resonating with anyone interested in turning their personal adversity into personal triumph.

Please join the CCBA for this special presentation.
