How to Become a Successful Speaker
Lots of people who email or call me, want to know how to become a professional speaker. It is glamorous, well paid, you get to go to fabulous places and meet extraordinary people. What could be wrong with that? Well, there are 50,000 speakers to compete with, it takes 2 days to research and put together a 1-hour presentation, the travel is tiring, but it is still exhilarating and enormously rewarding. So how do you become a speaker and what does it take to become and remain successful? In this show I give you the true lowdown. We also discuss why a risk reversal is so important and also whether now is a good time to start a business. I have two great guests, Speakers Bureau legend Jonathan Wygant and the former Chairman of Warner Music, Rob Dickins, CBE who I caught up with in London.
