The speaking business is just that...a business, as opposed to a hobby. If you need guidance on how to set up, run, or prosper in the speaking business and have a clear topic idea and audience you would like to address, contact Monica at 1-866-382-0121 for personal one-on-one coaching information.

Coaching

If you are a budding speaker, would like to begin a speaking career, or simply would like to know how it is all done from a conglomeration of experts, feel free to utilize any of the following resources that have been shared with me. Each of these individuals or companies, I highly recommend.

First, get yourself into position and prepare to be great. This may entail reading books, seeking bid from vendors, asking advice, or anything that helps your education of this industry. I have included a list of books and vendors that I have found helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact me once you have completed at least three of the names or books on this list.
