WHY WORK WITH A PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER?
Speakers are often hired for their expertise, but while the information they share may be relevant, it’s only useful if your presenter is able to capture and keep participants’ attention, wrap content in stories that stick, and provide actionable tools that your leaders and teams can put to work.
When hiring a speaker, review their expertise and experience, but also ask about their training as a professional presenter. Great professional speakers engage with and learn from the industry’s finest and adhere to a professional code of conduct.
The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) is a designation earned by less than 16% of professional speakers worldwide and recognizes significant experience and excellence in ethics, eloquence, expertise, and enterprise.
Expect a professional speaker to:
- Listen before they talk—to you or your audience
- Notify you when they’ve arrived so you can worry about other people
- Show up early, start on-time, and never crowd other speakers by running over
- Bring experience with faulty AV equipment, fire drills, and other technical problems that inexperienced speakers won’t know how to manage
- Understand the challenges you face as a meeting professional so they can help make your event a success
- Deliver eloquence on the platform as well as expertise
- Make their presentation about your audience and not about themselves
- Deliver value far above their speaking fee
- Wow your audience
