Molidor\, PhD President & CEO\, Community Assistant Dean DESCRIPTION:Improving Impact and Influence: What Your Brain Has to Say About That!\nAbout the Event: \nWould you like to know what goes on inside of your brain (as well as your audience’s) when you are presenting? Would you like to see how your brain lights up when it hears a familiar story (e.g.\, like the ‘Star-Fish’ Story)? Would you like to learn some brain-friendly techniques that you can immediately use in your presentations? \nThis powerful three-pound mass (and sometimes mess) of grey and white matter\, which we call the brain\, disproportionately exerts an incredible influence on yourself and others. Knowing how to use it effectively and efficiently can greatly increase your impact on others. Knowing what might be going on inside the brain of your audience allows you to truly personalize your content. \nCome join us as we look inside (as well as outside) the brain. This session will literally peel back what goes on in your audience’s brain. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. John B. Molidor comes to us from Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine\, where he is a Professor of Psychiatry and a Regional Campus Dean for his medical school. \nJohn grew up in a family of 10 children\, where he says he learned first-hand about “brains” from sitting around the dining room table! \nBorn in Iowa\, raised in Illinois\, schooled in Minnesota\, and educated in Michigan\, he often gets confused about whom to cheer for on Big Ten football weekends. \nWhen he’s not trying to figure out the universe\, he can also be found at the National Speakers Association\, where he is the National President for 2016-2017. \nPrior to these positions\, he has also served as his medical school’s Dean of Admissions\, Student Affairs\, and Educational Programs. He is also the CEO/President of a non-profit educational corporation\, bringing together three teaching hospitals and a Big Ten University. \nAs the author of Crazy Good Interviewing! How Acting A Little Crazy Can Get You The Job\, he is most interested in helping people optimize their potential. He has a long-standing interest in how people perceive their world and how they communicate that perception to others. \n \nDr. John B.

Brian will demonstrate every format (as well as the importance of panel member “types”) with a star-studded diverse panel from our very own NSA NYC chapter. So you will get the Double Benefit of experiencing the Extreme Panel formats while ALSO hearing great answers about your speaking business. \nThree tangible ideas or takeaways: \n\nDiscover how to jump start a panel discussion (give audience members hope instead of despair)\nCreate and sustain exciting variety in questioning formats the generate truly insightful answers\nTransform audience members from information recipients to participants\n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSince 1998\, Brian Walter’s Extreme Meetings has “infotained” audiences from 10 to 10\,000.

What is bookability\, anyway? \nThe speaking industry is saturated with hard-working\, well-intended talent. On its own\, a good story is just a good story. On its own\, a killer marketing strategy is\, well\, a waste of money. Further\, it is becoming harder and harder to get in front of prospective buyers. So\, is there a magic formula? \nBeing bookable is about consistently capturing the attention of the buyers armed with only your online brand\, word-of-mouth reputation and collateral materials. \nA bookable speaker is more than talent behind the microphone. It’s more than hard work\, and it’s a lot more than good intention. It’s all of that\, and a myriad of nuances often overlooked by even the most seasoned speakers. \nHow do you become bookable? \nQuite simply\, the way to bookability is by removing all doubt of your excellence. If anything about your marketing materials incites fear in the buyer\, you’ll be passed over. Instill confidence\, and your bookability increases. \nAs a management agency with nearly 100 collective years on the frontlines\, we work every day with bureaus and planners on the hunt for talented speakers. This means we know what they like\, who they like\, why they like it. \nAnd what they hate. \n \nThis session will help you discover: \n– where you are wasting your time and money \n– how you are presenting yourself\, and how others are perceiving you \n– how to appeal to the buyer \n– configuration of your brand for more bookings \n– confidence that you’re headed in the right direction \n– clarity around your whole package \n– congruence between who you are and what you’re presenting \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSince 1997\, Christa Haberstock has blurred the line between ‘Talent’ and ‘Agent’ by living large on both sides of it at the same time. \nOn the ‘Agent’ side of the line\, she is President & Founder of See Agency\, the industry’s fastest growing speaker management outfit. She manages\, consults and represents a cadre of elite corporate talent\, personally booking over $3M of speakers annually into corporate events. \nIn 2016\, See Agency was awarded a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000\, ranking a remarkable #1036 on the List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies. In recognition of her exceptional willingness to assist others in the bureau industry\, Christa received the 2016 Dottie Walters Helping Hands Award by the International Association of Speakers Bureaus. \nFor nearly a decade\, she has appeared on TV\, radio and podcasts presenting about the speaking industry. She has spoken to audiences across the US and Canada\, helping professional speakers and entertainment from around the world remove their own barriers to bookings and win more business. \nAnd on the ‘Talent’ side of the line? Christa is both an accomplished Recording Artist and Actor. She has written\, performed and produced award-winning songs which received radio play in the US\, Canada\, and West Africa. Her music has won international awards and earned critical acclaim “from people who know stuff”. \nShe is also a successful Improviser and Actor\, co-founding Dallas’ premiere all-female improv comedy troupe\, Heroine Addiction. In 2012\, she co-authored\, “Recipes for a Funner Life: Cooking With Improv To Improve Communication\, Confidence\, & Get More Happy”. \nShe has also done time as a Stand-up Comedian\, most recently invited to open for Caroline Rhea and Kevin Nealon. \nChrista continues to work on an assortment of diverse projects\, including various web series and voice-over work. Her short-film performances are being shown to great reviews at Film Festivals across the US. \nOriginally from Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada\, she now resides in Dallas\, Texas with 1 thriving agency\, 2 perfect children and a collection of brutal and entertaining careers. \n\nAbout the Venue: \n\nOur monthly Chapter Meetings and all MeetUps take place at Microsoft’s New York office building.
