As a trial attorney, Jinks observes the benefits of being able to express oneself with confidence, clarity, and conviction. Jinks is sympathetic to those fearful of speaking in public and those who are hesitant or too busy to improve their presentation and communication skills. Communication and presentation skills can mean the difference between getting the promotion, winning a case, presenting an idea, or locking in an account. Jinks' life revolves around his ability to speak in public, yet he fought hard as a young adult to overcome stuttering and shyness. After gaining public speaking experience while on his college debate team, Jinks won awards in Moot Court during law school and became a trainer for fellow students. Jinks has continued since then to be a mentor to many others, including other professional speakers as well as those fearful of speaking in public.

simple concepts, and then practicing them over and over again.Jinks tailors each program's length and number of classes according to the needs of each group or organization.
