Presentations

Speaking at conferences, workshops and speaker series establishes you as an expert in your field, provides networking opportunities and generates leads.
Benefits include:

  • Gaining Recognition as an Expert in Your Field - The status and prestige of being invited to speak cannot be surpassed. Even when there are others more qualified or experienced, the one who is chosen to present at an event is the one who gets the recognition.  

  • Promoting Your Company - The higher we climb in our companies, the more we are expected to act like the CEO: continuously promoting the efforts, programs and new initiatives the company has made.  In short, we are all responsible for informing others outside our company about how progressive and forward thinking our company is.

  • Meeting Future Colleagues, Subordinates, Bosses - In some industries, mobility is so high that professionals can expect to work with the same people again in ten years or less, but in a different company. Connecting with other people whom you may have the chance to work with in the future is a wise move.  Keeping yourself open to networking with future colleagues is certainly a plan for success.

  • Learn from Peers What’s New in the Field - By speaking at an event you are also participating and listening to what others have to say. Learning from ones peers is an important strategy for finding out what works, and what doesn’t. Leverage your knowledge off the experience of others. 

  • Become an Expert in a New Field - If you’ve been invited to participate as an expert on a panel, you'll be motivated to brush up on the latest developments in this field. By participating as a speaker, you drill down into a particular facet of your business and become even more of an expert.

  • Network withing Your Peers - Networking with new and reconnecting with old friends is a good reason for attending a business event. As we move through our career paths, it’s difficult to create and maintain ties with the people we meet. Making an appearance as an expert in one’s field will guarantee that your peers seek you out at an event.
