Keynotes/Public Lectures Graduations Motivational General
Miller is known internationally as an educator. In Jamaica and the Caribbean he also well known as a public speaker. Over the course of his long public career, he has delivered more than two thousand speeches. Audiences have been large and small: in cities; inner-cities and suburbs; big and small towns; rural and remote rural areas. Because of his preferred extemporaneous style, the vast majority of these speeches were not written and were not recorded. Excerpts of several were reported in the press or media. The common purpose of speeches was to inform, inspire, challenge and persuade. Each speech was tailored to the audience being addressed. Below is a List of a few speeches. As more are retrieved they will be added.
