Jump to:  │ Upcoming Seminars The Business of Speaking


Let’s start with simple questions.

Why don’t you get to speak on what you know, believe in and have passion speaking about?

Why don’t you get paid (well paid) like some of the people you see presenting in events that you participate in?

How come you may have wanted to get paid for a speech but you didn’t?

Do you know how to get your name, abilities and availability known within the shortest time without outrageous advertisements?
 


I personally invite you to be one of a few professionals
to learn what it takes to succeed in the business of speaking, training and consulting...that is you will learn How to Speak and Get Paid (and I should add--well paid). I was born in Kangundo (Kenya), my academic background is Range Management and English is not my first or second language. Yet, in a few months, I will be celebrating 10 years of success as a full-time speaker, author and trainer. I have been blessed beyond what I can put in words and still make sense. In 1997, I embarked on this journey without a roadmap but with determination and resolve that failing was not an option.

Dr. Vincent Kituku: What an amazing experience! Your training on “How to Speak and Get Paid!” was one of the most value-packed trainings I’ve ever attended. I arrived expecting to learn how to get paid as a speaker and left with a better understanding of my speaking abilities, useful ways to make my speeches stand out, and how to market myself as a speaker.

Before I continue, let me make it clear. NOT everyone
will qualify to participate in this practical training. We
will not spend a lot of time with what you already know about speaking. We will concentrate on how you can do it in a way where somebody wants to pay you and what you can do to make that payment handsome. Further,
we will work on making your abilities known within the shortest possible time by the largest number of people who can use your services. The good thing is you don’t have to leave your job before you start getting paid as
a speaker.

 
Vincent-Thank you for mentoring us through our next level of development. Your level and depth of expertise combined with your creativity are plus gifts- this training has enriched my strategic planning and personal goals. Lucky, lucky are we in your first class!

Sarah E. Minnis,
SPHR, Minis Consulting, LLC

This is one of my greatest risks because I would hate to jeopardize our relationship by taking you from family and other important involvements. I guarantee 100% support after the seminar because I truly believe you can succeed in less than two years.
 

What a terrific opportunity to start my speaking career.
I am very much grateful...! Your information, your incredibly inspiring stories
and your positive attitude are so valuable. You continue to inspire and amaze me. Well worth my investment. Thank you!

Dear Vincent ~ Your creativity is amazing! By giving us example after example of your own journey from obscurity to local celebrity you have pushed the limits of my own thinking about is possible for me. I can now see paid speaking opportunities in places I would never have thought about before. The binder you put together will become a well-used resource for me. Thank you for creating it as a value-added part of this seminar. Not to mention your wife's amazing lunch! Your careful selection of the group was fabulous - each person added to my enjoyment of this training.

Dr. Kituku: You have been a blessing to me personally and to my business. You have helped me gain the confidence I needed to pursue a speaking career and to build my law practice. I now know how to focus my energies… Thank you.

If I went back to college again, I’d concentrate on two areas: learning to write and to speak before an audience. Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively.

The Business of Speaking—Facts and the Truth
Let’s get the facts first. Speaking for pay is one of the most financially rewarding careers today. The National Speakers Association (NSA) conducted a membership survey in mid 2007 in which 960 members participated. The process, administered by an independent market research entity was a web-based anonymous survey that used 2006 data. The results are not only reliable but also solid and great source of inspiration for any one who wants to enjoy a lifestyle that makes a difference while providing income in levels millions can’t fathom.
 
Here are a few key results:

The average full fee for a keynote speech, (can last 15-90 minutes) that NSA members received was a whopping $5,000 when speaking away from home and $3,800 when speaking in their home community.

The average gross income for an NSA member from product sales (books, CDs and videos among others), service sales (coaching, consulting or mentoring) and speaking (keynote, breakout session, full or half day speaking) was $177,000. That for doing something they love. They don’t even call it a job or career. They feel it’s a mission. So they are missionaries who are rewarded greatly.

Over 80% of independent speakers (not hired and not part of regional and/or national corporations) work from home.

What, however, the results don’t indicate is that the incomes shown above could be generated by someone working (actual time spent in-front of individual (coaching or consulting) or individuals (speaking, training and/or selling)) in no more than 100 days of a 365 year. And for sure rarely in an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. situation since billable full day work is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. That’s the truth.

What this means is that those in the speaking business who have families, can, if they choose to, create a lifestyle that allows them to be with their families in the morning before children go to school and be home as the children return home. This also gives them the opportunity to be involved in their children’s after-school activities.

A unimaginable sense of fulfillment comes from positively affecting the lives of other people, especially on a continuous basis. Intangible rewards come from helping others. Maybe it’s helping organizations improve their performance in customer service and their bottom-line. Or helping couples overcome their marriage buffaloes (unpredictable challenges similar to occasions when invading water buffaloes disrupted the harmony of African villages without warning, leaving villagers fearful and anxious). Or steering young people away from destructive choices and habits. The reward you gain is far greater than any monetary payment.
 
Speakers enjoy accelerated professional and personal growth generally unknown to the rest of the world. Research-based speakers, the ones who spend time learning the challenges and expectations of the groups they speak to or train or the individuals they coach, consult or mentor, learn lessons never covered in colleges or in books. In the eleven years I have been a full time speaker, I have been blessed to learn about and work with organizations I had never heard of.

I never knew about American football. I have not only worked with numerous teams, but also enjoyed being selected the Homecoming Grand Marshal of the successful Boise State University Broncos Football for working with the team from 1998 to the present. Like many speakers/writers, I can update my resume every three months.

The question is, would you like a career (sorry, a calling) that provides substantial income without constant sacrifice of the time you need for your family? Would you like to do something that you know is helping improve other’s lives? Would you like to be involved in a lifelong journey that introduces you to new places and opens opportunities to learn of people and their challenges and be inspired by unbelievable human stories of triumph over adversity?

Now you have some inside information of a profession that can be rewarding. Any time you get an opportunity to improve your public speaking skills, take it. That might be the beginning of your life’s fulfilling mission.
