How Will You Benefit from Attending?
Sharpen Your Speaking Skills at the Pro Speaker Level
Whether you've been making a living from speaking fees or are just beginning your speaking career, there's always room for improvement when it comes to speaking! Speakers Speak LIVE is your opportunity to continuously improve your speaking skills.
Speak to a Welcoming Audience!
After attending a session or two to get a feel for how our events work, pick a date where you can be our Showcase Presenter! You'll get 10 minutes to present anything you'd like. Then, every participant will provide a few short comments of reinforcement and something that could be improved. No one knows how audiences will react to your delivery better than active professional speakers!
Improve Your Pitch to Decision Makers
Learn and practice Lois Creamer's "Speaker Positioning Statement" formula and introduce yourself in a way that commands attention and positions you as a true expert in your field.
Develop Your Virtual Emcee Skills
After delivering your Showcase Presentation, you are eligible to practice being the Session Leader. You'll run the entire one-hour program and get feedback to improve your program leadership skills. Don't worry, we provide a complete program script to make it easy for you.
Refine Your Deep Listening Skills
You can actually become a better speaker just by watching and listening to other professional speakers. As a participant, you along with all participants, are asked to listen to the Showcase Presenter of the day, take notes throughout the presentation and then deliver 30 seconds of comments to help the speaker improve.
Learn by Watching Other Speakers
Hearing other professional speakers share suggestions with Showcase Presenters week after week will have a positive impact on YOUR speech writing. Bring all of those observations of others to your speech development!
Receive Testimonials
Professional speakers know how to write testimonials in a way that decision makers want to read them! Connect with all of our participants on LinkedIn and then after you give your Showcase Presentation, ask for testimonials...and you'll get them!
Analyze Your Own Presentation with Video
You focus on your speech. We will record it and provide it to you as an "unlisted" video on YouTube. These are practice presentations. They are only for your viewing.
Experiment! You are Safe Here
Want to try Ecamm or MMHMM for the first time? Maybe you want to try a different opening to your speech and see if the audience is engaged earlier. Have a sales stack to go through to rehearse for a webinar? Speakers Speak LIVE is a safe place to try new techniques...even if everything breaks! No one gets embarrassed here. We will support you!
Meet, Network and Collaborate
If you want to make it in the speaking business, you need to meet other speakers doing what you want to be doing. Countless new relationships have started after meeting originally in Speakers Speak LIVE. Speaking referrals, invites to guest on podcasts, joint ventures have all resulted from regular attendance at our events.
