If You Write, You Must Speak!If you are an author, you’ve heard me say: “If you write, you must speak.” Likewise, speakers have heard me say: “If you speak, you must write.” Seldom do writers and speakers expect that the two paths will cross. Writing is critical to the development of expertise and books can add an important stream of income to a speaker’s business. For authors, there is no more effective way to promote the sales of your book than by speaking to groups. When they love you on the platform, they want to take more of you home. A book gives them an excellent way to do that. My favorite resource for speakers is Darren LaCroix and World Champion Speakers (www.worldchampionresources.com). They provide products and training on platform skills and professional speaking. It's perfect for those who are new to speaking or those who want to build an effective business model. Speaking is a tough business and you don’t want to take the journey alone. I wish I could have had this program when I was getting started. Click on the icon below. It will take you to Darren’s website where you’ll learn more about all the tools for speakers who want to shorten the learning curve.
