Meet Brian Cohen

It’s funny but!

Remember that last conversation you had when someone said, It’s Funny But. That’s when you know you are on the right track.

I’ve been in a corporate career role since my 20’s. One promotion to sales manager changed everything. The big moment came when I took a step to become a more influential speaker. Rather important in that role.

That happened in 2006 and I realized I needed to improve my communication skills I joined Toastmasters. Still a member of the Stony Brook Speechwolves Club. As a member I was successful in many speech contests, helped to start new clubs, coached others and also ran our District Conference. What I didn’t know was how this would impact me today

Since then I have has taken every opportunity possible to improve my speaking skills. Announcer at EPCAL Motorsports Park (Drag, Drifting and Go-Kart racing) Stand up comedy, motivational speeches, emcee at Charity events, Speaker at Networking events, Toastmasters and I even sang with an orchestra in front of eleven hundred people. That was crazy. 

Combining my outgoing personality, presentation skills and over thirty years in the corporate world, Brian has created Strategies of Success.  Under this organization there are multiple efforts. The ultimate goal is to connecting our students with the businesses that offer careers on Long Island. 

PS: Yes, that’s me on Mt Washington holding a book I contributed to. There’s a story there also.

I was interviewed a few years back. This video is my Backstory
