The 5 ingredients of a signature talk

One of the things I help my one to one clients the most with when they sign up to my Stand Out and Speak Intensive is creating a signature talk.

What is it?

A signature talk is an inspiring, educational talk that showcases the biggest area of your expertise in a relevant and timely message to your audience. It’s usually between 30-45 minutes long with Q&A at the end. 

Creating a signature talk is a great focus of your time if:

• You have expertise in a specific area that aligns with how you serve your clients or customers
• If you want to break into the corporate market and get paid to speak
• If you want to work with corporate clients for your other services such as programmes, workshops or one to one work (a signature talk is a great lead in to this.)
• If you want to deliver talks on industry specific stages
• If you want to create a central focus for your services with something that is ‘hot right now’
• If you have a book that you want to draw themes from in a more detailed way
