YOU – The Professional Speaker
Yes, I am calling you out.
More importantly I am calling you out because if you read this blog you are most likely a professional speaker.
“No,” you say, “Tony Robbins is a professional speaker. Wayne Dyer is a professional speaker. I am certainly NOT a professional speaker.”
But you are. Hear me out.
Yes, people like Tony Robbins speak for a living. He has people flocking to his events and paying hundreds of a dollars to sit in the back of the room and be inspired by his brilliance.
However, this type of a speaker is only a small sliver of what can be considered a professional speaker. Yes, there are many people out there clamoring to be this type of speaker. You may have no intention of speaking at that level, but you are a professional speaker.
- Do you put on workshops to promote your business? That's professional speaking!
- Are you trying to win new business by speaking to show your capabilities? Look more professional speaking!
- Do you deliver presentations to clients? You bet your bootie that it's professional speaking!
- Do you put together proposals and pitch them to prospective clients? That's high pressure professional speaking!
- Do you give technical presentations? Yep, that too is professional speaking!
Have I convinced you?
A professional speaker is anyone who is giving presentations to promote their business, thrive in their career or get new clients in the door. In fact speaking is one of the best ways to build new relationships and maintain established one.
If you are speaking for job or your own business, take the time to grow your public speaking skills.
