If you’re looking to enhance your career or small business by becoming a polished professional speaker, I strongly encourage you to check out this year’s Colorado Speaker Academy (CSA), offered by NSA/Colorado.

I am honored to be, once again, leading a workshop to guide participants to “Nail Your Brand.” My workshop is in early December, one of the foundational, strategic activities participants will tackle in this year’s CSA program.

The 2013-2014 Colorado Speakers Academy launches in early November and wraps up in late February. Ongoing activities include one-on-one mentoring and coaching with professional speakers.

Highlights of this year’s curriculum:

• Your marketing toolkit: Brand, elevator pitch, speaker one-sheet, and website (presented by yours truly)
• The art and science of storytelling
• Using innovation to stand out from the crowd
• The essential business roadmap to social media and mobile marketing
• Product development
• Platform/stage skills
