#95 3 ways to squeeze maximum value from your firm’s speaking engagements

So you’ve arranged a presentation for one of your firm’s leading lights – we’ll call her “Janet” – and you wished her well when she left the office. Now, she’s back, and you’re asking her about what she got from it. The response you get is a sort of shrug – “I did the presentation and then I left.” No follow-up, no business cards collected, no subscriptions to the firm’s blog or social media.

#62 What work do you really, really want? Here’s how to get it

Where do you want to be, professionally, a few years from now? Do you want to –
• Meet the needs of an industry different from the one you serve now, maybe one that has always fascinated you?
• Get bigger clients, which are less likely to have a problem with the fees your work is worth?
• Become an advisor to your clients, offering strategic advice rather than a transactional service?
Well … get out your suitcase, we’re going traveling.

#60 Conquer your fear of public speaking with a mindset change

Should you be putting more work into getting speaking engagements to build your personal profile as an expert in your field? Just maybe. Consider:

• Potential clients get to see what you’re like as a person
• You can interact with people from the stage, building a relationship with them
• People at the event have more respect for what you say even in ordinary conversations, because you’re wearing that “Speaker” badge (It works! Really!!)
• It looks good on social media, on your CV and on your LinkedIn profile
