February Dinner and a Program
Wednesday, February 13th
There Are NO Boring Subjects … There ARE Boring Speakers
Many authors just want to write … let the world find them. If that’s what you believe, go back to sleep. Authors may have the gift of the written word, yet they flunk with the verbal. Authors must be promoters. One of the best ways to promote yourself and your work is via the speaking platform. February’s Dinner and a Program is all about speaking. There are no boring subjects …there are too many boring speakers.
What are the crucial and must have elements of a great speech? What are the common mistakes speakers need to avoid? Get Judith’s Briles’ perspective—someone who has been there, done that—of speaking and selling books at the highest level.
Your presenter, Judith Briles, has 9 questions for you:
- Do you want to create a speech that gets attention and bookings?
- Do you want to be known as the “go to” person and a “must have” speaker?
- Do you want to use powerful stories and humor within a presentation, even when your topic is controversial or could be considered a downer?
- Do you want to be paid every time you speak?
- Do you want to sell books whenever and wherever you speak?
- Do you want to connect with your audience?
- Do you want to know how to find people that will hire you?
- Do you want to know tips on how to go from FREE to FEE?
- Do you want recovery tips on what to do when you are bombing?
You’ve got the topic and the book … now what? Create the speech or workshop. Every speech needs a great beginning, nuggets with how-tos and action and a powerful closing. You will learn how to structure a keynote speech or workshop. Your talk will sell books—lots of them. Learn how to find your audience, get them to pay you and skyrocket your book sales. Learn how to “drill down” within your niche.
You’ve got a book (or will have one soon)—
- Are you preparing a presentation that will bring in enthusiastic believers to your topic?
- Would you like to have enthusiastic book buyers flock to a table piled with your books?
- Would you like to be known as an expert, solution person, premier story teller or an entertainer?
- Are you creating a presentation that will sell books, lots of them?
- Are you getting paid for your talks—either for the presentation or in book sales—and better yet, for both?
Your take-aways include: How to be a better speaker; how to create and deliver a powerful message around your book and how to speak with impact!
