Strategic Planning for the Professional Speaker
In a world of constant interruptions and shiny pennies to keep us distracted, Kristin Arnold, CSP, will lead you through a dynamic workshop to create your own personal professional speaker business strategy and plan for 2020.
As a strategic planning facilitator, Kristin knows the power of having a simple one-page plan to propel your business. Just for her NSA colleagues, Kristin modified her corporate process to serve the professional speaker.
In this workshop, she will share her step-by-step process to identify your key strategic initiatives, key tasks, and a cadence of execution to move you closer to your goals. More importantly, she’ll share with you templates that were made specifically for professional speakers. You get to pick and choose, adapt what you like and leave behind the rest.
Kristin makes a bold promise (if you stay for the entire day): You will walk out with a one-page plan that will guide your business in 2020.
Whether you have only been in the business for a short while or you’re a seasoned vet like Kristin, you’ll understand and appreciate the importance of creating a well-thought out plan to substantially increase your success in the next year.
