Dez Thornton

Speaking Coach


Book Your Session with Dez

A lot of people would rather take a beating than get up and speak in front of a group. But with a speaking coach like Dez, before you know it … you’ve chiseled out a tight outline, told a great story, had a few belly laughs and realized you’ve got the audience eating out of the palm of your hand. Professionally trained at the University of South Carolina and Dale Carnegie, he is a past president of the Georgia Chapter of the National Speakers Association and the winner of Speak Tank, a speaking competition hosted by the NSA. He has been a speech coach for TEDx Peachtree, coached hundreds of professionals and corporate clients, and even taught a public speaking class for 7 years at a federal prison.At the tender age of nine, Dez forgot his lines in a church play but he never forgot the embarrassment and humiliation that followed. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to learning and teaching the art of speaking and helping thought leaders say the right words in the right way when they matter most.

Speaking Coach

Book Your Session with David

Dr. Gates began his teaching and speaking career long before he entered his dental practice—as a magician. He began performing magic as a teenager, and then used his magical skills to teach public school children about good dental hygiene practices. When he became the first general dentist in the state of Nevada to become certified in Invisalign, he began to speak and teach in the community about straightening teeth with clear aligners. Shortly thereafter, in 2003, he joined the faculty of Align Technology, and spoke nationally and internationally, for 17 years. He began accepting private speaker coaching clients in 2020, and began coaching for Lionspeak in 2021.
