As a past state president on the National Speakers Association let me offer some insights 1) Dont market yourself as a speaker rather ALWAYS be a problem solver and know in advance 1 but not more than 3 potential target audience needs - 2) Ask how your host will measure the success of your presentation 3) Speaking is not about you or your story rather its about the change your story creates in the minds of the listeners. There is a lot more but these 3 will at least start to get you pointed in a right direction. Dennis
I have a place that contacted me to get a certificate for taking a course on Leadership training this week. It is free, and you can pay 67.00 to get a lifetime pass for everything. I was wondering if this is something I should do? It sounds like it would help immensely for learning much more about being an influencer, speaking. Is it by the Expert Leadership training summit? Is this a program that would help me get to the next level of leadership and gain the knowledge to be an influencer, understand how to get speaking engagements, and not be afraid of speaking? It sounds like it would really help. Has anyone else heard of this? I want to sign up for the unlimited program.
see my comments here regarding speaking —-Nothing adds credibility to a speaker more than writing and getting +++ getting a book published I personally have authored over 250 articles + videos related to dealing with cancer. It takes time
To stand out in speaking engagements, consider your unique value proposition. Reflect on what sets you apart from other speakers and what fresh perspectives or insights you can offer to the audience.
Always keep the attendees top of mind. Focus on engaging them effectively and delivering content that resonates with their interests and needs.
Exploring more opportunities to speak at cancer organizations can be highly beneficial. Not only does it provide valuable experience, but it also enhances your credibility within the community you serve.
I trust these suggestions will be of assistance.I have three books that have been written and published. I am working on three more books. Thank you for your advice.
Networking is your friend. Networking helps you connect with other people within your disease space and other disease spaces. Whether it’s on social media or in person, I try to communicate or talk to as many people as possible. There have been many times through networking I was asked to speak on a topic or be interviewed. LinkedIn can also be a good tool to find opportunities to speak. I’ve also seen paid speaking opportunities at savvy cooperative and even through Social Health network
