Signature Story

A good story is engaging - but a signature story differentiates a speaker. His signature story is about The Price is Right - it's a personal experience.

What must a signature story contain?

• it must engage the audience
• it has a universal message
• it has a solution to common problems

Even years later, a speaker's signature story is what people remember.

On Meeting Planners

Meeting planners are looking for:

• an extraordinary speech
• that the speaker can deliver expert content
• and the people at the event will find value while they're being engaged

Preparation Precision

Preparing a speech like planting a seed. It grows and develops.

• you must have a story - it's your message
• you need to be engaging
• you need to have a concrete call to action
• and frame your content to solve your listeners' problem.

Strategy

A strategy is key. It's not about secrets, tips or tricks.

• surround yourself with people who are speaking
• use a speaker coach for the specifics on speaking
• your business of speaking must have other revenue models
