It differs from the normal monthly chapter meetings in it's focus and format.
A typical chapter meeting has 1 (or 2) featured speakers who go deep on their particular topic. Normal meetings start at 3pm and go until 9pm (w/ dinner break)
Get Paid to Speak events are a longer day ... it starts at 1pm and goes until 9pm.
But the biggest difference is that Paid to Speak events have a lot of different speakers who all present on one specific topic. The time for their presentation is 20 minutes. So it's a rapid fire event with a lot of energy and a lot of different perspectives.
The theme of the day is 'Getting Paid to Speak' ...
so the individual topics consist of the many different things that
professional speakers do to make their businesses work.
The Goal: Learn to get paid, to speak!
The Get Paid to Speak event will be hosted by Steve Weber – The Conference Host
Tentative speakers include: Darin Adams/Ross Walker (Infusionsoft),
Russell Gaede, Lois McElravy (NSA Montana), Kent Merrill, Eric Needles (Montana), Dave Reed (eSpeakers), Michelle Skaletski-Boyd (NSA Montana), Jeff Vanek, Donna Voss, & Elain Witt
(Speaker lineup subject to change as not all speakers are confirmed)
AFTERNOON SESSION with Jason Kotecki CSP
The Fullness of Thy Calendar Shall Define Thy Success
(and 27 Other Speaking Rules that Don’t Exist)
We talk a lot within NSA about building a business, but not so much about building a life, and the two are not necessarily the same. Little time is spent talking about the challenges of finding balance, as well as starting and maintaining relationships. Travel is part of the job, but we tend to look up to the people who leave their friends and family the most.
Too often the great freedoms this profession provides us are wasted because we're too caught up comparing ourselves to each other and basing our value on our fees and the fullness of our calendar. We are quick to steal the tactics of other "successful" speakers without stopping to consider the strategy behind them, which can steer us down the road to burnout, bad health, and broken relationships.
Whether you’re new to the speaking industry or a seasoned veteran, you’ve no doubt encountered many so-called rules for success. Although often championed by well-known speakers who are themselves successful, the truth is that following some of these rules can sink your career.
How do you know which rules are worth following and which ones are holding you back? This fun and insightful program will help you figure that out.
EVENING SESSION with Doug Stevenson CSP
Storytelling Mastery That Grows Your Business
In speaking, it's not only about content; it's about connection. You have to connect deeply and be amazing. A great story captures the listener's imagination and draws them inside the action.
Doug Stevenson teaches how to craft and deliver stories that make a powerful and lasting point, and simultaneously sell you as a speaker.
Learn to:
- Identify your most powerful and effective stories
- Discover the Nine Steps of Story Structure to make your story better
- Use acting and comedy techniques
- Harness the power of dramatic silence
- Discover the magic of 3-dimensional storytelling
- Brand your message to be memorable and marketable
- For more information, go to: http://www.storytelling-in-business.com/keynotes-training/story-theater-method/
Doug will coach one or two volunteers on their stories so you can see how subtle acting techniques immediately increase the humor and dramatic power of a story.
ABOUT JASON KOTECKI CSP
Jason Kotecki, CSP, is an artist and author of 5 books, including "Penguins Can’t Fly +39 Other Rules That Don’t Exist.” He works with organizations to beat burnout and become more innovative by breaking rules that don’t exist. He helps people from all walks of life figure out the formula that works best for them; opening them up to greater stamina, performance, and overall fulfillment. In the past decade, Jason and his wife Kim have built a successful speaking business that has experienced continuous growth. Perhaps more importantly, they’ve navigated the pitfalls common to this very demanding profession in order to create a rich and fulfilling personal life, complete with three kids under eight. It hasn’t happened by accident, and it certainly wasn’t the result of following all the rules.
Rookie speakers and experienced pros alike are guaranteed to encounter ideas that will challenge their assumptions and maybe even ruffle some feathers. This is a must-see program about the business of making speaking fit in your life instead of making your life fit into speaking.
