Jessica asks, "Do you know what differentiates you from other speakers or trainers in your topic area? Do you really?” Be prepared for a highly interactive, high energy, humorous session where NO question is off limits as she leads an exercise to help you know how to lean on what makes you YOU and not THEM.

Your clients say they hire you for your content expertise (would be nice if that were true). The reality is, they actually hire you to give their audiences an extreme experience. Brian Walter, communications consultant and corporate humorist with Extreme Meetings, will show you how to make your speech’s messaging dramatically more sticky. How will he do that? With an action-packed, example-laden, steal-these-ideas session on memory-enhancing platform skills.

Every speaker wants his/her presentation not only to be well received in the moment, but to be remembered and referenced afterwards. Such permanence shows that your message and delivery were impactful. So what makes a keynoter stand out from the crowd? What creates a buzz that permeates an audience member’s psyche and lives beyond the applause? What generates an ongoing impact that the group references for days, months or years afterward? What subtleties could you incorporate to make your speech more memorable?

Ever wonder why some speakers “make it” and others don’t? It’s not a big secret. Successful speakers know the secrets of increasing productivity and profits by creating systems. Success systems that work. Systems that are repeatable.

Join us to hear five of our national members present, followed by reinforcing and re-directive feedback from a panel of Industry Professionals with an expertise in booking speakers. The second half of the meeting will include a moderated conversation with the panelists, where we get to hear the straight talk on the speaking industry and how they personally feel speakers can help themselves and their bureau partners.
