For aspiring or established speakers seeking my professional evaluation of their speaking endeavors, I offer fee-paid advisory. This is a short term service. For more support, I can recommend organizations that provide intensive and/or ongoing speaking career coaching.
Here’s an interview I gave in 2024 on the business of speaking, relevant to those getting started:
I’ve run Promenade Speakers Bureau for nearly 20 years serving America’s leading corporations, experiential agencies and associations. As a non-exclusive talent broker, I’ve booked hundreds of speakers and vetted thousands more on my client’s behalf. I’ve co-brokered and built relationships with many of the leading celebrity talent agencies worldwide. My thought leadership has been featured across speaking, business and events media: About Us
