You
may be a fantastic writer—author of all sorts of books and blogs and articles.
But when your readers begin to invite you to speak, it’s important to make sure
you have a whole new set of skills to ensure that your speaking events run
smoothly.
I
love to encourage writers and speakers. And one of the key ingredients to
having a successful speaking career is making sure all details have been
clearly communicated between you and the event organizers.
In advance.
Believe
me, this will prevent all kinds of heartache.
I
cannot even begin to tell you the stories I have heard from speakers who
expected one thing and were shocked when it never happened. (By the way, I hear
just as many stories from event organizers who had certain unmet expectations
from their guest speaker.)
