How to Speak, Sell and Scale Like the Top 1% of Speakers In The World

Описание: See An 8-Minute Keynote That Took Over 100 Hours of Preparation

Most people think an 8-minute keynote is something you just “tighten up.”

I used to believe that too.
Until I actually tried to make one unforgettable.

The problem

From the outside, it looks easy.
You walk on stage. You smile. You deliver.

Behind the scenes?

This talk is in a political landmine field.

This talk is about a controversial subject, the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation.

National Speakers Association is attempting to unify over 18 speaking associations over this standard.

This keynote was in Canada which already has its current aversion to anything American.

One wrong step and I could insult 60,000 professional speakers around the world.

I knew I needed help.

The insight

The 100+ hours weren’t about memorizing lines.

They were about:
• Contacting the CSP experts like Frank Kitchen & Shelby Longman

• This topic was so important that NSA CEO Jamie Nolan decided to meet with me directly.

• Meeting with Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Education Chair Merge Gupta-Sunderji to formulate a strategy that creates value (notice that I don’t say CSP until minute #7)

• Asking 20 others CSPs to review my draft and give me valuable feedback

• Asking legend Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE, Cavett for help and she replied by RE-WRITING my entire script with her expert language eye

Eight minutes only looks short when the work is invisible.

I took over 30+ hours of my own preparation AND a community of professionals shared over 70 hours of their professional advice in coaching to make this presentation even better.

The action

This week, try this:

Cut your next presentation in half. Then cut it again.
Test it with at least three people who are experts and who don’t think like you.
Rehearse out loud — not in your head — until you embody the talk.
Watch what changes.
