Step into the Spotlight: How to Catapult Your Business, Build Your Brand, and Position Yourself as a Thought Leader through Speaking

A program for anyone who wants to succeed in the speaking business

Everyone has something that they are passionate about – professional sales, social media, cars, food. Most of them, however, let their expertise fall to the wayside because they do not understand how to make a beginning in the speaking business. They do not believe they possess knowledge that the world would benefit from learning.

The usual thought is, “Sure, my friends and co-workers appreciate it when I educate them on my passion, but it’s not important enough for other people to care about, and how do I find an audience anyhow?” The self-defeating thoughts stop these folks from even considering what could turn into a lucrative speaking business.

Does this sound like you? Are you so confused that you don’t know where to begin? “Step into the Spotlight: How to Catapult Your Business, Build your Brand, and Position Yourself as a Thought Leader through Speaking” will show you precisely how to take your expertise to the public, and dispel the myths and confusion that you may have about public speaking. Public speaking, strange as this may seem to those who have not gone through my program, can bring excitement and fulfillment. And you can actually make money doing what you have always loved.

All this is possible once you learn strategies from the expert speakers we have interviewed.

I have interviewed the most awarded speakers around in order to bring to light what all their years of experience have taught them. They share the secrets – and mistakes – that brought them to fame.  

More importantly, they share the strategies on how they got their start, with simple tips that anyone can put into application. Most of the speakers were just average people who had a passion. Their stories prove that even if you do not have a lot of cash and you’re starting from square one, you still have the power to become a highly sought-after speaker.

They explain the attitude that brought them to success, the shift in thinking that will move you from negativity to confidence. All of the speakers can attest that attitude makes or breaks beginners in the disappointments and failures that the business inevitably brings, so they share the importance of having a “dream team,” partners who give you feedback that helps you grow in you craft.

How does “Step into the Spotlight” stand out from the rest?

The interviews offer more than the competition’s, such as determining speaker’s fees, marketing yourself online and off, planning seminars and workshops, and much, much more.

You will not want to miss out on Darren Jacklin’s interview where he explains how to meet the decision makers who could book your next big gig. You need to hear his advice that how many speeches you give is not as important to generating more business as who is in your audience.

The program also offers the often-overlooked details of professional speaking. It explains in depth the best ways to memorize stories essential to any good speech, the number of stories you should have in your repertoire and ways to add variety to your speech.

Additional materials include:

• Marketing yourself in an increasingly competitive arena
• Negotiating with venues for the best price for your event
• Determining your niche and showing your expertise on stage
• Navigating the ins and outs of the early stages in a speaking career
• And more

Becoming an “adult” speaker

When you were a child, you did not have a great understanding of the world around you. You acted like a child and did not have the power to get the adults around you to do what you wanted. But when you became an adult, you gained mastery of the world. You knew how to get what you wanted and how to succeed. You were not powerless like a child anymore.

This is precisely what my program is about. It will give you the skills you need to gain mastery in speaking. It will teach you how to persuade others to see from your point of view and take action.

What does it mean to be an “adult” speaker? It means having the ability to influence others. If you want to be a successful speaker, our presenters make clear that you must have the desire to impact the world in a positive way. The impact may take the form of educating your audience, motivating them or entertaining them, but in some way you must leave the audience feeling better for having listened to you. My program shows the ways to achieve the positive impact that listeners need – and that will keep them coming back for more.
