Classes begin Monday, October 3rd!
The NSA-MN Speakers Academy goes beyond anything you can learn on a web site, in a book, or with a single coach. It is a robust comprehensive educational program provided by the premier organization of professional speakers in Minnesota!
“The NSA-Minnesota Speaker’s Academy was instrumental in helping me create a foundation for my speaking and training business. I developed a real world sense of the industry, marketplace and opportunity combined with the ability to network and engage with other people focused on building a similar business. The Academy insights were critical to shaping my launch strategy and I wouldn’t have the business I have today without it.”

LEVEL ONE: Building a Foundation - $995
Participants in this program share two common goals: determining whether a career as a professional, paid speaker is the right choice for them, and learning how to become a professional, paid speaker. Subjects include professional awareness, topic development, platform mechanics, initial sales and marketing, and building important professional relationships.
LEVEL TWO: Increasing Income and Impact - $995
Participants in this program will work towards answering two key questions: How can I have an even bigger impact as an emerging speaker? –and- How do I increase my income as a professional speaker? Subjects include presentation and performance, expanded sales and marketing, authorship and product development, and business management.
Levels One and Two both consist of EIGHT evening sessions held on the first Monday evening of the month, from October to May. Location: Bloomington. Each course is facilitated by two NSA-MN members with occasional guest speakers. Both Levels One and Two will require additional, individual work done outside of scheduled class time.
