You might be the best speaker in the world but if you aren’t getting booked and you are relying on income from your speaking then you aren’t going to be a speaker for very long.
If you aren’t getting the bookings, you think you should be, you may not be able to see what’s missing the mark. You need someone who books speakers all the time to tell you what you need to do differently so that you get booked.
Do you wish you had someone in the speaking industry you could talk to, someone who knows what’s going on in the market, what clients are looking for from speakers, what’s hot and what’s not? Someone who can save you a ton of time in research, help you to achieve your speaking goals and answer your questions? Do you want to stand out from other speakers all competing for the same event, and to be one who can deliver a compelling, inspiring, memorable presentation? Does your content need updating or does it need a complete overhaul to work in today’s new normal?
Many clients are now asking for more than “just a speech” from their chosen Speaker, or they are selecting Speakers on the basis they can deliver something more than a “just a speech”. They are looking for tangible results, behavioural change, and a return on their Investment and increasingly want Masterclasses, full day workshops, and sometimes a full development programme where the knowledge and skills acquired can be applied and embedded.
If you are keen to be able to deliver more than “Just a speech” and extend your range and product offering, and are not sure where to start, then Mary our Head of Executive Learning and Speaker Coaching can help you.

In the first 9 seconds you will achieve 90% of your impact. This is known as the 9-90 rule. A rule every speaker should be mindful of across every aspect of their business. Your credibility can be determined within those first 9 seconds. It is a rule that absolutely comes into play with what you wear and how you wear what you wear. 55% of your personal impact is achieved through the “visuals” impact of you. What your viewer or audience is seeing. If there is anything visually about you that is distracting, the audience will focus on the distraction and not you and your important messages.
Kay Korsh is a personal stylist and wardrobe consultant who can help you change the way you are perceived on stage and virtually. In just 60 minutes she can ensure your stage or virtual presence will have people listening to what you have to say instead of looking at what you wear.
The life of Speakers has been turned upside down over the last few months and the need to be able to make an impact virtually, deliver their expertise, engage with, and influence their audiences has become ever tougher when the audience is often unseen, and at best, reduced to a 2-inch window on a monitor.
As a professional Speaker, the need to look and sound professional online has never been more important. Having the right lighting, appropriate background, positioning to camera, quality audio and recording equipment and then having to juggle delivery with keeping an eye on the audience whilst still making an impact can be a challenge! Don’t know where to start, we have the solution!
