Speakers can see good and bad examples at conventions

JPHeck — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:41:39 +0000

If you’re a professional speaker, member or NSA/Indiana or not, you might want to watch the conventions to see the good and the bad. I’ve been an ardent watcher of conventions since I was a child. There are no limits to the quality of speeches.

Yesterday, the extremes of speaking styles were there. I’ve been blogging about them and would love to have you comment on my grades for the speakers.

Fall 2008 Meetings

Hello to fellow NSAI members and visitors…

Your chapter leaders are pumped for the 2008-2009 year which features programs that will improve your platform skills and benefit your business development efforts. For the months of September, October and November, we have decided to adjust our meeting day to best coordinate with our speakers’ schedules as we are truly delighted to have such outstanding talent in our midst!

Thursday, September 25: Phillip Van Hooser MBA, CSP, CPAE will lead us in “How to Re-Think, Re-Position and Re-Tool Your Way to Speaking Success”. Member-only and open sessions will be held at the Meeting House of the Village of West Clay. Visit the Home Page for registration and agenda details. We encourage members to bring a guest to our first meeting of the new year.

Tuesday, October 21: In a Members-only session, Patti Hathaway, CSP, will present “Strategies for Building a Speaking Business that Lasts: Tips and Tools to Increase Your Repeat and Referral Business.” This member-only event is a full-fledged meeting and will take place at the home of Pam Burk. Visit the Event Page for details. Directions to Pam’s house will be provided with the October meeting reminder. Patti will also speak to a joint meeting of NSAI and Meeting Industry organizations in Indianapolis the next day.

Thursday, November 13: Jean Gatz, CSP, will share “How to Discover, Develop and Deliver Powerful Stories”. For this meeting, we’re back to the same location and format we used in September. See the Events Page for details.

On behalf of the NSAI Board, I’d like to thank Margie Thomas for her work in revamping our chapter web site and making it an instrument for successful communication.
