Kerry Kathleen Heaps, founder of Book, Speak, Repeat joins Lorraine for a conversation about becoming a public speaker.
If you want to grow your professional speaking business focus on your story. Think about the experiences and life lessons which make you uniquely qualified to give a presentation. Structure your presentation as a series of stories, not facts. Your audience will remember the story long after the presentation is over.
Beyond the story, you must identify 3 – 5 takeaways ( action items or relevant messages) which will make your presentation relevant and valuable for your audience.
Finally, there are five things every professional speaker needs: A current bio, several core topics. Presentation summaries for meeting planners, specific takeaways for each topic and a current head shot.
KEY TAKEAWAY – There are way more speakers than speaking opportunities, if you want to be hired, you need to make it easy for event organizers to work with you.
