The Program:

In this fast-changing economy, your once in-demand services aren’t now as in demand as you’d like. It’s hard to know where to put your efforts, as client needs change fast, and new opportunities arise overnight. It’s smart to diversify your offerings, but how do you know what to shift to garner the biggest payoff? How do you mine your past expertise to match clients’ current needs, so you aren’t ho-hum, but are yo-yum?

Would you like to hear what an in-demand keynoter’s clients tell him is working that few others are doing? Would you like some ideas on how to get invited to serve on boards of directors? How to make it known you are available for lucrative expert witness work? Would you like to know key ingredients of a speaker’s smartphone app that ensure every audience member downloads it?

Terry has transitioned from a corporate CEO to a popular keynote speaker, paid board director, fee-based expert witness, consultant and author. Although you may not have C-Suite credentials like his, much of what he shares can be applied to any non-celebrity speaker.

You will learn:

  • ideas on how to transition your past experience into current client demand
  • what clients say they want now
  • how you can position yourself to acquire a paid board of directors position
  • what you need to do to be paid to be an expert witness
  • what to include in your speaker app
