Founder: Richard Greene is the author of "Words That Shook The World: 100 Years of Unforgettable Speeches and Events.” Richard advises presidents, prime ministers, governors, senators, mayors, CEOs and other business leaders and celebrities on public speaking and communication strategy.  His passion for politics started at age 16 when he walked door to door for a local candidate then expanded to Washington where he was a Congressional Intern, a degree in Political Science from UCSB, law degree from the University of Southern California, a run for Congress in 1992 and then three years hosting "Hollywood CLOUT!", a political talk show focusing on current events featuring many members of the entertainment community as guests and co-hosts. His current focus is to help communicate politics in a more personal, nonpartisan, fact-based way and provide an empowering alternative to the overwhelming, confusing and de-motivating onslaught of negative political advertising.  richardgreene.org, thefivesecretsofcommunication.com
