Don't Just Give Them What They Want
If you want to get hired for more stages, don’t just give the event planner what they’re looking for.
Don’t give them what they want? That sounds crazy, of course you want to give the event planner what they’re looking for, right?
Watch my video to find out what I mean by that:
Pitch to the Team
Next time you pitch yourself for an event to get on a stage, remember that you’re not pitching to one player, you’re pitching to the whole team.

When you speak, you want the audience to see you and not think about the nasty background.
In this tip video, I will give you practical options that you can use as your background for your next presentation:

You Can Inspire Others
What is your thing? As a speaker, what makes you special?
Over the last couple weeks, I’ve talked about different ways that you can stand out as a speaker. One other way that I haven’t talked about yet is something about you — physically, mentally, a part of who you are, or maybe how you’ve changed — that can help others learn from you.
In this tip video, I will share about two of my speakers who use their own challenges and struggles to motivate and inspire others:
What’s Your Thing?
What do you really need to be a successful speaker? A book? Well, you don’t necessarily need a book, but you do need a thing. All of my speakers have a thing. Something that makes them special, something unique.
