Hone your Speaking Skills
My friend e-mailed the following video that he saw on You Tube - Elvira Speaks
When you have a chance take a look at it-it’s a riot.
You’ll probably agree after viewing it that you do need to be prepared to speak!
Many of my colleagues feel as I do that it is vitally important to have a coach and to continue to take seminars to enhance their skills.
At Speaker Services we offer lots of training. The Speakers’ Bootcamp is a great intensive for honing your speaking skills. Our next Bootcamp is March 26-30, ‘08.
The MediaSpeak Symposium is great for anyone who has a service, product or book and wants to get more publicity.
Does any of the following sound like you?
You want to:
- Communicate your key message to the news media, audiences and clients
- Position yourself as a savvy media guest/expert
- Create grabber sound bites that attract attention
- Sell books on the radio and TV
- Develop dynamite pitches that attract producers and editors to spotlight you now
- Choose the best promotion strategies for print, TV, radio or Internet
- Discover how to pitch to multiple media outlets
- Become a sought-after talk show guest who gets booked again and again
- Convince newspapers and magazines to run feature stories on you and your work
- Nail any interview without getting clobbered
- Craft print and online media kits that reporters will love
- Adapt your ideas into a screenplay or TV pilot
Then you need to be at the 3rd annual MediaSpeak Symposium, October 11-13.
Psst: sign up by Sept 1 and save $150.
Would you like to have a video presence on your website? The BizSpeak and Video Workshop is a one camera shoot with a full day workshop attached to it.
There are just a few slots open at this time. Grab one-it’s only $497. A steal.
When I went to You Tube today to see the Elvira Speaks video I created an account and uploaded 2 short videos. One is with Jack and me talking about Why Video is Important and the other is of one of our speakers Suzanne Stanford talking about Internet Safety. Click here to view them. Suzanne’s is a one camera shoot that we shot at the Speakers’ Summit.
If you are a speaker and you want to get booked for speaking gigs it is necessary to have a 3 camera video shoot in front of a live audience. We offer a Video Demo Showcase twice a year for 18 folks. Take a look at some of the streaming samples on my website. I have 2 openings for Nov 4.
I got sidetracked today with the Elvira Speaks video and now I have to get back to work!
More later.
Susan
