Someone asks you to speak as an expert in your industry but you would rather die than get in front of a group. I know you are probably thinking no, but the next time you get asked, you need to say YES! It is a great way to get your personal brand out there and be seen as the expert in your industry. You can also get sales leads added to your list.

The first thing you need to do is know your audience! Who is in the crowd? What is the biggest problem you can solve for them? Are they potential clients? Potential referrals? What value can you add to their life so they see you as the expert in your industry?
