Connect with Christine Clapp Twitter LinkedIn Presenting at Work Spoken with Authority Victor Ahipene:Speaking nation, what’s happening? Uh, welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets here from covert studios. I’m your host Victor. I am looking forward to introducing you to something that I think will be very beneficial to develop now and then with the world and how it’s going to change in the new world that we’re going into I think is going to be really beneficial. So Christine, clap onto the shows today and she’s based out of Washington. She’s written a book called presenting at work and she is the founder of a company called speak spoken with authority. So little that being said, welcome to the show Christine. Christine Clapp: Thanks for having me. Victor Ahipene: One of those things that I think, you know, we’re obviously on a public speaking podcast, so um, a lot of people have that fear when it comes to public speaking. And then I think a lot of people just put out the BM minimum when it comes to obligatory public speaking, which I think the most often that that happens in day to day life is in the, in the workplace. And so it’s something that I always find really, really interesting because you can teach someone potentially how to, how to give a good keynote presentation. But when it comes to, you know, when you’ve got to insert graphs or information or those repeated presentations that you’ve got, it can be a whole whole different ball game. So how did you kind of get into, uh, I guess that that space, the business space and the presenting at work and, and, and all of that, and your journey? Christine Clapp: Yeah, thanks for asking. So my journey started back when I was a college student. I went to a small school in the State of Oregon. It is called Willamette University and it was one of just a couple of schools that had an undergraduate major in rhetoric. And that’s the study of persuasion. I was really interested in it, but it had a requirement for oral communication proficiency, which meant doing the debate team for a semester. And that terrified me. I was not a comfortable public speaker or a polished presenter. I really didn’t want to do it. But I decided I really love this idea of studying persuasion. I think it could be useful in a lot of different professional paths, so I’m just going to sign up for debate and see how it goes and if it’s a complete disaster and I don’t get oral communication proficiency, I’ll just switch to chemistry or another subject that I liked. So I did debate and have my first two debate tournaments. I won zero debates. I lost every single one. There wasn’t even someone who forfeited because they were running late. I just, I was terrible. I was the worst person on my debate team and even though I never actually read the fine print that you could get your proficiency by participating, you didn’t actually have to win any debates. I came back my sophomore year to debate because it was really, it was a frustrating experience. I knew that my opponents weren’t better, smarter, they were. We’re poised and polished and articulate and I knew that as an 18 year old kid, if I didn’t figure out how to do that, it would put you at a disadvantage no matter what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. My sophomore year, I came back, I ended up getting a really great debate partner who was a freshman who had debated in high school. He actually is the coauthor of presenting at work. The book that I wrote with Bjorn Stiliyan Southern and we debated and we had g

The Secrets to Running Corporate Workshops with Christine Clapp

Getting into corporate training and running workshops is for many of us a big goal. The problem is not many people are out there showing you how. In this episode Anthony Kirby breaks down how to get a foot in the door, how to price your self and create a no brainer decision for the company, the unknown risk-reversal technique that Anthony has used to add an extra 0 to his contracts. We also go deep into what actually makes an effective and engaging workshop particularly for those who have been forced to attend. I have never heard anyone share this insight into the behind the scenes of a successful corporate trainer. Connect with Anthony Kirby Website Email Victor Ahipene: Speaking Nation what’s happening? Welcome to another episode of the public speaking secrets podcast I’m Victor your host today. As always, and super excited to introduce you to one of my friends who is doing cool things in a multitude of different areas that I think will benefit a lot of you out there. He’s helping a lot of coaches out there in the online space, but he also helps a lot of businesses increase, the sales and their productivity, with workshops. And I know a lot of the listeners out there are looking to get into the corporate space or the workshop space, uh, or even to up the coaching abilities. Anthony Kirby: And I know that my friend Anthony Kirby has, uh, been there and done that and has got the runs on the board. So welcome to the show mate. Please should have. Yeah, thanks. It’s nice to have this opportunity to, um, interact with a human. Yeah. COBIT 19 environment we find ourselves in at the time of recording. Yeah. So if you’re listening to this at the moment, we’re both currently in covert studios, uh, which is a very socially distance device, zoom. And, uh, I know a lot of people have just figured out and found out about zoom, which is a pretty funny, all the people just go, Oh my God, there’s this thing called zoom. You should jump on it. It’s like, come on. And you know what, there’s a lesson straightaway. There’s a lesson than that for every person who wants to speak around the world is that like the market is not a city sophisticated as you potentially think it is. Victor Ahipene: So what we, what we think is like very basic is actually in fact not very basic to the people who need our message. And that’s the reason why she keeps turning up. Because, you know, we, we, we take it for granted what we learn and what we, what we teach. And, uh, yeah, this is the classic example of it right now with people moving into a digital format of life. Yes. Well that’s, yeah, 100%. Like, because I had three people messaged me last week asking if I could help them sisett up telehealth for their prey, the health healthcare practitioner based things because they didn’t know how to take payments. I said, just sit up Stripe. How do you sit up Stripe? Yeah, yeah. And use zoom, what soon? And it’s a, yeah. So definitely don’t under it, don’t underestimate your expertise because they were all super stoked that I could help them. And um, yeah, it was literally pretty easy for me. Uh, but on you, on what you do, you obviously do a little bit more than teach people how to use zoom and Stripe. Yes. Can we run out there like a little bit of a, you know, from your work site, workshop side of things, how did you kind of get into it and what do you do when you go into businesses? Anthony Kirby: All right. So I’m in the background of all of this is that, um, when I moved to Australia, which is what, 16, 17 years ago, something like that, I got into sales and I quickly discovered I could do really good job of teaching people how to sell. So I ended up doing a lot of sales training through my career, if you want to call it that. And then I decided about five and a half years ago now, um, that I

Since following him I have seen him leverage the power of social media, authenticity and storytelling to grow his business. Today we dive into his thought process, what is working right now for him, how it can work for you and the biggest challenges he faces with growing his business and personal brand. Connect with Isaac John Instagram Youtube Itunes Victor Ahipene: Speaking nation, what’s happening? Welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets. Super stoked to have you listening and tuning in today. I’ve got Isaac John aka Ice, who is a founder of a clothing company, and I want to talk to you as his clothing company called YKTR. Check it out. It’s a, you know, the rules, and he’s also done a lot for getting his company off the ground, which I want to delve into and some, uh, some insights that he’s gained in a bit of the behind the scenes in that aspect. Because I know a lot of you, I know I’ve watched what he’s been doing and I know this works just not for clothing companies and it can work for you out there. So we’ll get another aspect of that public speaking, which is the digital side. So with all that being said, welcome to this show, my man. Isaac John: Thanks Bro. Thanks for having me on. Victor Ahipene : So give us a quick background of, you, how did you get to kind of be doing the clothing side of things and then we’ll delve into kind of the aspects that you’ve used to I guess, leverage social media to grow. Isaac John : Short or long version? Victor Ahipene: Just go, the medium. Isaac John: Nah, so just, I grew up in a small town, um, had ambitious to play sort of rugby league play for the play in the NRL and sort of was able to do that, uh, through my NRL career, very average player through, um, had a lot of injuries and stuff like that. So through injuries I was actually, um, through injuries actually started reading up on books and had outside interests and from there sort of dived into business once I finished football. Kind of just wanted to really pursue business and YKTR, was one of those things and been lucky enough so far for it to eight. Victor Ahipene: Cool. And I mean, I guess, guess part of that, and I know, I see with the questions that people ask on your Instagram who will like oh, how do you do it if you’re not an ex NRL player. And I’m like, I mean, I’ve, I’ve, um, myself, I’ve physio for the magpies I know quite a lot of like sports, like all blacks and whatnot ends. I mean, you know, outside of them getting sponsorships from external companies, they wouldn’t know how to leverage any of that anyway. So it’s like, yeah, I feel like it may be a little bit of a fire onto the flame, but it’s like if you don’t have the, um, the kindling or the water or whatever, it’s just going to die out anyway. So, yeah. How did you initially leverage that? Like, did it help for your initial growth or was it the kind of the stuff that you threw out and tried that you felt kind of grew the brand? Um, yeah, like, um, obviously I understand like it’s just, it’s just where I’ve come from. I can’t really change my career or my previous past. It’s kind of a weird scenario cause a lot of people would think that they’re like, Oh cause you’re friends with chicko and Cory. That’s what made your brand grow. But obviously anyone that’s sort of been in business understands, that’s probably not the case or anyone that actually knows those two boys. That’s not the case as well. So to say, it didn’t help would be fucking ignorant of me, which I’d never say that, but to

Welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets. Super excited to have you here where I’m probably going to get judged for my lack of vocal tonality cause we’ve got Sally Prosser who is a voice and presentation coach and she’s had a raft of experience across multiple different industries and different ways that we present, which I’m super excited to be able to dive into. So welcome to the show, Sally.   Sally Prosser: Thanks for having me, Victor. Good to be here. Give Victor Ahipene: everyone a bit of a background, I guess, how did you get to where and what you’re doing now?   Sally Prosser: Well, I’m sure as most people say, how much time do you have? So it could go on from it. But I guess the, in a nutshell, I started out as a speech and drama teacher. So for anyone out there who’s done a Stedford growing up, poetry, prose, that kind of thing. And then I got to a point where I thought, Oh my goodness, if I have one more child come in the door wanting to do a tongue twister, I, you know, don’t think I can continue. So at UNI I studied law actually and also journalism. And I worked as the broadcast news journalist. So I did radio, uh, then moved into the area where you had to blow dry your hair TV unfortunately. Uh, and then I went from news reporting to PR, which is a very, it’s called crossing to the dark side. So the journalists who cross crossover to PR, that’s what they’re called. And I was the spokesperson for Brisbane’s a water and sewerage company. So there you go. The glamour girl for Siri.   Victor Ahipene: Yeah. Does that, does that need lots of spokesperson?   Sally Prosser: Well, you know what they say, if you can sell it, then you can sell anything. Right. Um, and then it was while I was there in the corporate setting that I started to understand how much of a skill public speaking, well, how much it was lacking. Really. A lot of people were struggling to speak up in meetings, struggling to speak in front of people, being asked to be on a panel or speak at a conference and be freaking out, wanting someone else to do it. And so about a couple of years ago I left and I’ve started my own business.   Victor Ahipene: Nice. Do you kind of diving into that aspect on the corporate side, do you find it to particular level that uh, you know, to put it bluntly, like sucks at the presentational fears, the presentation side? Like is it their middle manager person, is that, you know, still happening at the CEO or the C level side of things? Or is it those, you know, people aspiring, cause I’d be interested from someone who’s going to been in there on the ground level seeing it,   Sally Prosser: you know, I saw it at all levels, right? From people who don’t even apply for jobs. If they have to do any sort of speaking, they actually bring up insight. Do I have to do any speaking in this role? And if they say yes, they say, Oh than

So welcome to the show Kenyon. Kenyon Salo: Victor is so wonderful to be here. Thank you so much for having me. I’m fired up and you know, I love that it’s such a global world where you can be on one side of the world. I’m on the other and we’re able to have this conversation and be able to share any tips or bits of information or storylines that might be able to help some people along the way. Victor Ahipene: Super excited and yeah, exactly. It’s a, I was talking with someone on this side of the world a few hours ago and then someone on the other side of the world and then, uh, yeah, it’s, it just makes it, makes it awesome because yeah, the skills that we have with public speaking, they’re so transferable in the lessons are very similar. But to dive into that, like how did you get into the, the world of public speaking? Yeah, the keynote presentation space. How did that all kind of come about for you? Kenyon Salo: Well, for me, I am horrendous at dancing, drawing, doing any type of art or along those lines. But if I look back through my entire life, one of the key things through my entire life is that I’ve been pretty solid at communication. And even 20 years ago, I would look at some of the greats like Tony Robbins and I would see him on stage and I would say one day I want to be able to do that. And it was a process because everything I did in my life was geared around that communication side of things, that leadership side of things. And what I realized is that no matter what job I did, the most favorite part of my job was teaching, training, facilitating, speaking in front of others. And it wasn’t until 2015 when I finally had my message and then that’s when it was like, you know what? I’m going to do public speaking, I’m going to be a keynote speaker. I’m going to push this for full time and let’s make a career out of it. So an overnight success in 20 years kind of thing. Victor Ahipene: Nice. It’s, it’s really interesting you say that because I know a lot of having been to like Tony Robbins events, uh, everyone, no, not everyone, but a lot of people leave it and they decide I’m going to be a life coach or I’m going to have as big an impact as what Tony Robbins does or, yeah, I’m going to end up what, what tends to happen is a lot of people just try and

We’re going to learn a lot in regards to both as speaking side of things and how he connects with people to be able to boost that. So super excited to have you here and welcome to the show, Brian. Brian Miller: Hey Victor. Thanks so much. It’s a pleasure. Victor Ahipene: So give everyone a bit of a bit of a background like magician, magician, turn, speaker. Were you a silent magician or does that, does that? How did you kind of, I guess, Mike, that transition into, into the speaking world from, from the magician side of things? Brian Miller: Yeah. So I know you, you recently had on Tim David, who’s a friend and mentor of mine and actually how you and I were connected and he also is a former magician, turned the speaker. But what’s interesting is that if your listeners heard his story recently, uh, the fact that we were both former magicians is basically where our stories and in terms of their similarity, we had a very different path in spite of both being magicians. So I actually ended up speaking purely by accident. Uh, I never wanted to be a speaker. I never intended to be a speaker. I, if I’m being really honest, I thought like when I thought of speaker, I thought of motivational speakers, right? And I just, I thought they kind of word lame. Like I really did. I really thought motivational speaking was lane. I was not a fan of Tony Robbins and, and nothing against, not a knock on him, like, right. But like I, aye. That is what I imagined speaking was. So I, I was in, um, college for philosophy and my plan was I was all set to start a PhD. I’d been accepted into PhD programs for philosophy, uh, right out of undergrad. And I come from an a family of academics, scientists, mathematicians. So like go to grad school, become a professor that was set out for me, like laid out all my life. That was always the path my life was going to take. But I got really into magic when I was a kid and I started doing it in high school instead of working at McDonald’s. Basically it was like my part time job in high school doing magic shows. And then I continued to support myself through college and the last hour I decided I wanted to try to make a living as a magician. And so I abandoned ship, which was a really rough phone call home to mom and dad. Uh, that was not ideal. And it took years before they really came around. I mean, poured it, right? Like I don’t want to sound like that. Like they were like, okay, like, I mean do your thing, but when it fails, you’ll obviously go back to grad school, right? Like, it was kind of like that, right? Like, all right, whatever, you’re 22, you have time to fail. Um, but no one, I don’t think anybody really took it seriously. And what’s interesting is that speakin

And I’ve got a good friend of mine today, Amanda Panda Williams, who is the chief cheerleader for and ringleader for Yellow Panda, which is a company that helps people who are looking to get their message out there. Do that with PR and personal branding. And she has done that and an extremely awesome way. So I’m looking forward to getting someone, you know, who’s often doing the behind the scenes for the amplification of the message rather than the person actually out on the stage. But she does that as well. So with all that being said, welcome to the show, Amanda. Amanda Williams: Thanks it’s great to be a here. Victor Ahipene: Okay. Now give us a bit of a quick background. Why, you know, what, what is it exactly that you do in regards to kind of the PR and personal branding and how did that all kind of come about? Amanda Williams: I guess it comes from my background to start ways. I’m working in politics as a major advise us. So my role back then was essentially looking after the public image of politician. Um, so that was everything from, you know, that’s sort of digital footprint. So websites, social media, I’m dealing with the media, doing those video relations, I’m doing that sort of Stripe payoff stuff, but also working on local issue campaigns, writing this speeches, I’m basically doing everything I can to support them as you know, talent in politics. So, um, I guess it was sort of a natural sort of progression then to may once I left politics to start doing that. So entrepreneurs. Victor Ahipene: Nice. And what’s, yeah, if we were to, to look at, I guess what PR kind of all entails, because I talk about this in different things that I’ve put out. As you know, I help people get onto stages and to me there’s online in this offline stages, but a stages just to me are way that you can amplify your message to have a bigger impact to people. So it’s not just you, what you, a lot of people think of as your traditional stage that you’re standing on your keynote presentation, your sales presentation, your workshop that you might run. It can be a stage like this, a podcast, it can be a webinar that you run an online summit. But then there’s, there’s also this other stage and I know you get help get people on to say, you know, a morning TV show or the news and things like that, like these digital and written print medias that are a massive stage that have huge authority. Um, so talk us through a little bit of that and why I guess it’s important that as a speaker we start looking at this as one of the stages we should be getting our message out into. Amanda Williams: Yeah, I mean like you just rattled off such a long list already. All of the things that you need to be doing to stand out, to be building yourself as an authority. And then there’s all those extra things that, that we do as well. So, um, essentia

Congratulations. You’ve made it to the final day and I’m super excited to be sharing with you a system that I’ve developed that fits into the speak to sell model and that is called the story selling. Now, a lot of you would have heard about story telling and experienced that over the years and you go, Hey, what’s the difference these two things? There was a very slight difference, but the result is huge. It’s the difference between generating revenue from your presentations or getting a nice pat on the back after your presentation and that’s what I want to take you through today. This fits into my whole speak to sell presentation framework that I’m going to show you as well throughout this. You’re definitely going to want to stick around. Now, the big difference between say story telling and story selling is as humans we don’t like to be told what to do. We want to be taken in a journey and feel like we discovered the solution for ourselves. We discovered that it was the right thing for us to be able to do and what story selling allows us to be able to do is implement and thread throughout our presentation, our business, our services, our results that we’ve got and a lot of presenters are quite scared to do this because they feel like they are selling too much and of course this has got selling in it, but I want to share with you a quick story about Josh. One of my students, he went and used this framework that I’m going to show you in a minute and intertwined success stories and a presentation he was giving. It was a keynote presentation so there was no pitching whatsoever from stage. We intertwined that initially he was a bit apprehensive going, oh, maybe it feels a bit salesy. Out of 150 people there, he was voted by them. The Best Speaker of this conference, he generated multiple six figures from the presentation and ongoing work for his products and services that he does and that’s why I say you’re only one presentation away from making six figures from stage. You’ve just got to get there, that new killer effect. You’ve got to get the right presentation in front of the right people at the right time and the right time in the sales process. Are they new to it? That they’re not, know that they need it and do they know

And so we’ve got our unique branded speaking system to move, spit it out, how we can package and position ourselves as an authority in our particular niche and then figure figured out what type of speaker you are. So I hope you’re starting to get some clarity around all of this because what we’re going to do now is put the skeletons together of what your presentation may look like. Now, this is something that has taken me 18 years from when I was first up there, stuttering and stumbling and shaking my way through my first ever presentation at the age of 13 to five years later being a qualified public speaking teacher. And then combining that with my ultrapreneur flare and learning how to sell from the stage, whether that be online, offline, or anything in between. So what I want to take you through today, and this, this formula, this proven formula is where I call my public speaking blueprint. And it is something that regardless of you decide to go down the uh, consultant side of things. If you want to run your own workshops, if you’re looking to do more in the online space, if you’re looking to be a sales presenter or even a keynote presenter, this what I’m going to show you is going to be absolutely imperative to that. Not only is it going to give you that proven formula for success when you are on stage, what I mean by that as a, it’s going to keep your audience engaged, be what it is also going to do is make sure that the content and your message you’re putting across is the right message at the right time for your right audience. Because when we do that, we get them to make a change and hopefully that changes. Wanting to work with you, buy your products, your services, whatever it may be. And finally, there’s going to save you a lot of time and frustration so you’re not having to go up there and like a standup comic. Try and see what works and what doesn’t work for your audience. Sure. You’re going to fine tune this along the way and put things in and take things out. But if you have the right system from the Getgo, it’s going to be a wonder that you just make bitter and bitter and bitter as you go. Now there’s proven formula. Once you start looking at the great talks and the great speeches, you’ll see that it falls in to a certain system. The thing with the system, and here’s the

Using The Public Speaking Blueprint To Create A Killer Presentation Every Time

Too many speakeres and entrepreneurs think too small when it comes to speaking from stages. Today’s episode will open your minds up to the possibilities there are with speaking and the different ways you can spread your message. I often speak to aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners or celebrities and they have tunnel vision with regards to the type of platforms they want to speak from eg. Keynote presentations, corporate training etc. That is until they see what the back end opportunities are from each type of delivery…. They almost all change their approach once I introduce them to what I call my ‘Trojan Horse Strategy’. This is part of a 5 Day Speak to Sell Video Series. To check out the other videos go to https://coaching.publicspeakingblueprint.com/5-day-speak-to-sell-challenge-reg Victor Ahipene: Hey team, welcome to day three. Let’s keep this momentum going. We have just hit the halfway mark and hopefully you’re starting to see you differently. We’ll by the end of today, the power of speaking from stages and what it can do for you as your brand, your business, whether you’re starting out or you’re looking to scale and take things and your message and your impact to a whole new level. So I think this is really gonna open your eyes because what are you going to learn over the coming session is just exactly the five different types of stages that you can speak from. But not only that, I’m going to give you a behind the curtain, look at the different types of income you can make, speaking from these different stages. And I’m going to give you case study examples of different people out there in the trenches doing it right now. And I’m going to take you through each of them, how they do it, but also the authority that they have built up in a particular space to be able to get onto these different, uh, these different platforms. So without further ado, let’s jump into it. The five different stages. Yeah. Once we have our authority built up. The first one is your keynote presentation. So I’m just going to give you a brief overview of them before we actually jump into the case study, which will give you a bit more of an idea. So the first one is the keynote presentation and this is probably the one that I get the most, uh, inquiries about in regards to students wanting to share their message, talk about their business, talk about things that they think they can help others with in the keynote presentation form, which is great. And I mean that the income that you’d be looking at as kind of a minimum of say $1,000 for a 30 to 90 minute presentation, uh, all the way up to, uh, 10 50, $100,000 depending on your authority within your particular space. The next being the sales presenter, we’ll actually, we’ll go back one step with the keynote presentation side of things. You, you occasionally, uh, maybe ask to or offer to, uh, give a breakout session which allows you to go into a bit more depth in your area of expertise or what you’ve, you’ve spoken on, you may have given them that that broad taste of your over all speaking system, your supermodel speaking system and you might go deeper into one branch of that and your breakout sessions and that is your end can be, can be really, really great for showing that you can not only give that overarching view but that you’ve got some depth and some in some substance. The sales presenter side of things is generally the complete flip side. So keynote presentations, you are, well, this is the commonly held myths that I want to dispel. Keynote presentations are you are paid and you’re expected to not pitch from stage sales presentations. You’re generally not paid and you will give the event organizer 50% of any sales that you make. This the general rough numbers. Here’s the thing though, you can do a keynote

The 5 Different Stages You Can Get Paid To Speak From (and how to get on them)

In today’s episode I will be showing you the avenues you can go down to build, package and grow your authority no matter the industry. This will allow you to: 1) Build trust with cold audiences 2) Remove risk from event organisers looking to book you (as they know you an expert/authority) 3) Lead to more and more speaking engagements This is part of a 5 Day Speak to Sell Video Series. To check out the other videos go to https://coaching.publicspeakingblueprint.com/5-day-speak-to-sell-challenge-reg Victor Ahipene: Hey team, welcome to day two of the speak to sell video series. I really hope you’ve had a chance to work out your supermodel speaking system is it really sits that foundation to build up your speaking career and to be able to position yourself to be able to get onto stages. So what we’re going to be working on today is how you can package up some of the, uh, some of the accolades that you have been able to achieve throughout and within your industry that are going to allow for social proof and social markers for different key individuals and the first key individual that you’re going to be wanting to build your authority up for event organizers. So what you’ve got to understand is when there’s an event that event organizers looking for speakers and there’s a lot of them out there and when they’re looking for a speaker, there’s a huge risk on them. If they get a bad speaker, it’s a reflection not only on you as a bad speaker but also them as an event organizer and a lot of event organizers are very, very tight and talk to each other. On the flip side, if you’re a good, uh, if you are a good speaker, a good presenter, a good trainer, you are going to reflect well onto the event organizer and are going to spread the spread the gospel of what a great speaker you are, which is what we ideally want. If you haven’t got a warm lead into these event, different event organizers, you’re going to have to have enough or authority to de-risked this. And so I’ve developed a start or authority ecosystem where you can find out the things that you have and start packaging them together. So when you’re out there pitching these different stages and reaching out to these different people that you have your authority ecosystem set up and you’ll see why it’s an ecosystem. As we get further through today’s training. The second group of key individuals that you want to build your authority out for is of course your audience. If you had two identical people sharing the same message and one had say, being featured in the media or had written a book or had created their own supermodel speaker system versus someone just presenting it as per usual, your message is going to get a few, have positioned yourself as an authority that’s going to get through to their audience a lot better. Reason being as your audience is listening and they’re sitting there and they’re going, is this person worthy of teaching me? Look, you’re already authority being in front of them, but they’re saying, is this person or does this person have the required qualifications? And it doesn’t have to be formal qualifications or the or the authority to be able to speak on this particular thing. And if they say yes, well that’s one barrier broken down for them to maybe decide to use products or your services. We’ll take the first course of action towards whatever change you are putting out there. So let’s jump into this. The star authority ecosystem. So each letter in the word star makes up a different strand of authority that you can build up in the first lesson. We’ve already touched on it a speaking, so just being up on a stage puts you, usually you’re elevated to everybody else and that is automatically going to position you as an authority. You’ve

Building Your Authority As A Speaker Using The STAR Authority Ecosystem

We are all experts at something. What’s important is being able to package and position ourselves in that area. Learn how to create a speaking system using what you already know to speak from 3 minutes to 3 days without having to ever use cluttered slides or cue cards ever again. You can do this and more using my Supermodel Speaking System This is part of a 5 Day Speak to Sell Video Series. To check out the other videos go to https://coaching.publicspeakingblueprint.com/5-day-speak-to-sell-challenge-reg Victor Ahipene: Hi team! Victor Ahipene here, and I’m super excited to have you on this five day video speak to cell challenge over the next five days. The aim is to take you from where ever you are in your business currently to where you want to be and if there’s more leads, more revenue or freeing up more time, then I’m here to show you that the speak to sell methodology is the vehicle to be able to get you there. You see a lot of us look to try and recreate the wheel though. These shiny things, new marketing avenues, new social media platforms, all these different things that we see our competitors and compatriots using. Look, what I’m here to tell you is that public speaking is the highest paid method out of any of them as the highest paid industry in the world. There’s not many other places that I can think of where you can make seven figures from a 60 to 90 minute presentation and I’m going to pull back the numbers later in the week on a speaker who made three point $6 million in a 90 minute presentation and look, I’m not saying that’s going to be you at the end of this week. What I’m saying is what would a $10,000 a hundred thousand dollar or yeah, $500,000 presentation mean to your business. For a lot of businesses, they wouldn’t be able to handle 3.6 million versus worth of new business coming in tomorrow. So they’ve got to have those structures sit up. But four, you know, one of my students, he generated six figures from his first presentation from stage having never spoken in front of an audience before and that’s exactly what I want from you. It’s an everyday business owner now with extraordinary results. We’ve all been in those conferences in the past and we’ve seen that speaker who’s just bought us to death of either turn to 45 degrees and they are reading off PowerPoint slides. They’ve got cue cards or they’ve got big A4 piece of paper that they’re reading of. Look, if that’s you, saves me some time. If I’m in the audience, email me your slides. I can probably read them quicker than you can present. What I want to show you over the coming days as a way that you can position and package up your ideas and your expertise to get you onto the ideal stages in front of your ideal audience. Look, I’ve made six figure presentations in front of three people. You can do the exact same. It doesn’t have to be auditoriums full of of raving crazy people who have come to to see the biggest and brightest names in the world. It can be a small room of 3,10 20,30 people that can create your six figure presentation. And so what we’re going to do once we have packaged up your expertise and we’re going to begin with that today, is then we’re going to show you the stages that you can potentially get on this five different types of stages that a lot of people under estimate or don’t think about. They’ve got, they’ve got blinders on and they say, I want to be a keynote presenter, or I want to be a workshop trainer, and what I’m going to show you, which I’ve never revealed outside of my one-to-one private students, is my Trojan horse method and this is what tunes four or five figure presentations and to six and multiple, six bigger presentations and it doesn’t involve any more outreach or marketi

So welcome to the show. Elisa Hays: Thank you very much. Happy to be here. Victor Ahipene: If, let me have a bit of a background. How did you get into speaking around? It’s kind of got their own story on, on the turning point. Yeah. Yeah. We don’t all just go, oh, I might be a public speaker where I’d go up. Did it all kind of come about for you? Elisa Hays: Uh, it was Doug Carver, eighth grade teacher. Actually I, I took a, in middle school I took a beginning public speaking class. I don’t even remember why I was super nervous and super nerdy. Um, I did one speech and then he came up to me afterwards. He said, you know, I would really like for you to transfer to the advanced class and I’d like for you to audition for the play. Will you do that for me? And be in the advanced acting class as well. And so I said, um, okay. And he pretty much set the direction for the rest of my life. I was 13 years old. Victor Ahipene: And how did that transitioning into the professional realm? Elisa Hays: Well I, I did public speaking throughout competitively throughout high school and college won trophies all over the country of, which was great. I also did theater and then went on to get a fine arts degree in theater performance. And ultimately as an actor it’s actually really hard to earn a living. So I, I fell into doing some other work in children’s theater actually and ultimately through a whole big long story that we don’t have time for. That led me to doing a one woman show devoted to helping kids build their confidence and self esteem in front of an audience of adults and helping the adults to let loose their imagination and loosen their grip on uh, being stern and stiff and very professionally presented and to actually lighten up and play and use their imagination because that’s how creative things get done. Victor Ahipene: Nice. And through through that, how, what was your steps to being able to I guess, grow that side of the business? Like I mean for a lot of speakers that I speak to me, they usually get a group one together. You can and you might have a few shoots that you work with and you apply them and maybe they’re friends and all the parents come along and the units that, okay, well that whole same or have been able to put out how do I, my advantage, the tight day to the next level. Elisa Hays: Aye. I actually ended up starting a company and it started out as just

And I’ve got just the person to help you today, Tim David on the show, he is the founder of get speaking gigs.com which I think a, yeah, kind of says what it does on the wrapper would that uh, with that domain name, it’s nothing that you have to kind of start getting yet. Start getting, figuring out what it is. So welcome to the show, Tim. Tim David: Thank you so much victor. I appreciate you having me. Victor Ahipene: Yeah, it’s my pleasure. Before we kind of get into what get speaking gigs dot commerce and some insights on how people, I guess, can get into more speaking gigs, how to, how to Joel speaking, uh, life, I guess kind of begin? Well, I started as a professional magician and a was doing 300 to 350 gigs a year. Touring all over the place. I did that for almost nine years. It was a lot of fun. So glad I did it. Um, quite a profession with lots of stories to tell. But then I had a baby and I wanted to be home and not touring for 350 days a year. Problem was, I started my magic business right out of high school, had zero work experience other than McDonald’s and uh, just had no marketable skills. You know, it’s like anything that you, you need experience to get the job, but you need the job to get the experience. So I was at a catch 22 and I asked myself, how can I leverage the talents that I already have, which is basically standing on a stage, talking into a microphone and doing magic tricks. How can I leverage that to where I’m doing fewer gigs every single year, but making the same amount of money. And as it worked out, I’m doing a lot fewer gigs. I’m under 50 now, which I never thought possible. And, uh, making still three times as much as I was making touring as a, as a professional magician. So that’s how I got started. A or rather was my motivation to get started. I know people have a lot of different motivations. Uh, but for me, I’m going to be frank, it was not about, uh, spreading a message or, or a legacy. It wasn’t about so much about making an impact in the world. Yes, I had those motivations and no speaker will ever be successful without a passion for helping people. But I’ll tell you, I wanted them checks, I wanted them checks and I saw how much pay speakers were getting paid compared to what magicians were getting paid. And men, Oh man, here in the states, you know, 5,000, 10,000, $20,000 a speech was, was blowing my mind. So, so that’s where I went. I focused exclusively in the corporate world, corporations, associations, and anybody who has any questions about how to break into that market, how to maximize your revenues as a speaker in those kinds of markets. Uh, happy to, happy to talk to you. And that’s where it gets speaking. gigs.com came from. Victor Ahipene: and it’s, so was it speakers coming to you going, hey, you’ve, you’ve done a lot of these, uh, how, how can we get into some of Tim David: it was a magicians coming to me. My first, I don’t know, a hundred clients were probably magicians, jugglers, face painters, stilt walkers. It was a, it was weird. I would hold live events and it was weird in
