The Program:

Think you fully understand what is happening in professional speaking or the world in general? Think again.

Is it possible we’re in a period of such unprecedented change that nobody really knows what’s going on? Are your certainties your biggest liabilities? Are you frustrated that speakers with seemingly less talent are doing swimmingly better than you? Is the word “motivational” now derogatory? If—thanks to technology—everyone has a voice, how do you get heard? And just what is a truly great speech and/or performance?

This is not a discussion about the future of speaking. Mark focuses on the present, suggests some guidelines for the post-world-as-we-knew-it, and hopefully provokes your thinking. Mark focuses on a few key concepts and words that can make you feel pretty good regardless of the challenges you face.

You will learn:

  • Four conditions you can’t change but you can deal with.
  • The difference between what meeting planners say they want, and what they buy.
  • What effect the 2012 US election might have on speaking.
  • The two most important questions for dealing successfully with change.
  • What it takes to crush an economic curveball.
  • The primary strategy for continued survival and success in speaking.
