Is Now Really the Time to Hire a Professional Speaker? |
|
Since the events of September 11th and the economy slipping into recession, many organizations have been faced with deep budget cuts. Given the current financial hardships and wide spread layoffs, some managers are questioning whether they should continue to invest in bringing professional speakers into their organizations. A "Far Side" cartoon by Gary Larson aptly makes the point. Standing in his tent, a king is putting on his armor, sword and shield for battle. His attendant has just told him that there is a salesman waiting to see him. To this he responds with great bluster, "Can't you see I'm busy, tell him to go away. I'm going into battle!" Meanwhile, standing just outside the... |

The Role of the Public Speaker |
|
Throughout the years of my life, I have addressed many people through public speaking. I have also met many, who could not make themselves go before an audience, in spite of their, deep personal knowledge, of interesting subject matter. If you are having this troubling experience, read on, and we will explore some of the tricks, and tribulations, of public speaking. One of the most frightening experiences a public speaker may encounter is; walking out on the stage and seeing hundreds of people in the audience. This can be overwhelming to public speakers, even those with years of experience. One might try to look at your audience, intently. Seems aggressive to some people, but, this is... |

Four Reasons Why Every Speaker Should Hire a PR Firm How many speakers do you know who have engaged the services of a public relations firm? Chances are you may not know many. What professional speakers don’t realize is that hiring a public relations company can become extremely beneficial and can produce a surprisingly high return on investment. The amount of revenue which can be generated as a result of the activities of a public relations firm can easily outweigh that of advertising. Why? Because public relations is more reputable than traditional advertising. A consumer is more likely to purchase a product or service because they read a third party revue, not because they saw an... |

Public Speaking: Vulnerability
Author:
Tom Antion
I learned a great public speaking tip, at the recent National Speakers Association convention while standing around talking shop in the hotel lobby. John Meluso
spent some time with me and noted that I was not showing any vulnerability at all near the beginning of my program. I would roll along and then tell a signature story at the END of my talk that bared all. John, pointed out to me that being the hard charging kind of public speaker that I am, that I probably have been alienating many of the more sensitive audience members. It is likely that my style ran over them right from the start and caused them to retreat for cover, thus making them very distant from me emotionally. Because of his astute observation, when I'm speaking I will change the order of some of my material to better connect with more subdued audience members. An old boy coal miner friend of mine once told me, 'The schoolhouse door is always open.' John, I want to thank you for reminding me that we all can get better.

Keynote Speaker - Determining A Speakers Worth |
