SUPPORT
This association exists to help would be and existing speakers excel. We love being a social network for people on a similar journey, but that is not enough.
We need to help you become better at what you do. To excel and be your best. And we will be there for you every step of the way.
PASSION
The passion of a tribe that understands where you have come from and what you are going through. Outside of our walls it can be hard to find those that understand what a business of speaking actually is. What it is you do and want to achieve.
Inside these walls you are surrounded by your tribe. They get what drives you – the passion and the want to share something that will make a difference. They are not just like-minded; they are like-hearted. Welcome home!
ELOQUENCE, ENTERPRISE, ETHICS, EXPERTISE
These four E’s are important to us as an association and we live them as part of our values.
ACCREDITATION
We have recognised levels of improvement as you go along the journey.
Level one is Accredited Member and focusses on your willingness to learn and apply your efforts to self-improvement and become involved and contribute to the association. It is a great first step along the way.
Level two is Professional Membership and recognises your improvement in the ability to deliver your craft and that you are now earning income that comes directly from your speaking endeavours.
Level three is Certified Speaking Professional. This is internationally awarded and is the highest level of accreditation most reach (yes – there are more for when you speak and are recognised overseas by your peers). It is awarded by an overseas panel and recognises that you have truly arrived on the big stage. You are plying your craft with the best on the stages, in the boardrooms and among the leaders of the world and making the sort of income that you were aiming for when you started this journey.
KNOWLEDGE
Through this association you have access to a world (literally!) of experts and expertise. Look at some of the options available;
It is a smorgasbord of knowledge to choose from!
ENGAGE FULLY
As with any smorgasbord you must feed yourself. It is all there for you but you will need to be willing to put in the work. We do not promise instant success. We cannot line up twenty paying clients – that is your job. We can support you and give you all the sustenance you need to do it.
Those welcome to eat at the table are those that are also willing to add to the meal. We are a voluntary organisation run for the good of all. The long term members and the successful speakers are those that have learned that to give is to receive. Get involved on committees, volunteer to be an MC for a night or host a guest. Jump in and be part of a growing committee. The meal is more rewarding when you have added to the meal.
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”
– Winston Churchill
Oh by the way, we try hard to welcome and engage every guest. But if for some reason you managed to slip past our net then hold your hand out and say hello – it is about helping yourself and we don’t bite!
REACH OUT AND SAY HELLO
Fill in the enquiry form or come along to a free meeting. We welcome guests three times before we ask you to make a decision about membership.
You are in the right place – take the step.
