Are you feeling the cold? Some of our members have been to warmer parts of the world in the last month and I know that I love seeing their stories on Facebook and LinkedIn. Go Allie.
May Day has two meaning depending on how you spell it.
I would like to suggest that you look at May as the month to plant new seeds for your business and also to ask for help if you have any problems. Did you know that the website now had a forum to exchange information on?
Many of you are missing the opportunity to promote your business – you need to get your profile and website on the NSANZ website. There is a video on how to do this at Updating Your Profile to help you.
Visit the Resources for Members. There are links there to the Speaker’s Magazine and Voices of Excellence updated every month, There is a link to one of the best indemnity insurance offers available to speakers and the page also has a spreadsheet that you can download to record your speaking engagements for accreditation.
May is also the month for the Professional Speakers Academy. Looking forward to next weekend. Thanks to Karen Boyes, Ann Andrews, Dr Rodney Ford, Bill James and Robyn Pearce 5 of our 8 CSPs for agreeing to present. It will be a learning adventure for everyone I am sure.
So is it Mayday or May day for you this month?
