And some are none of those things.

They are authorities who

get paid for what they know.

That could be you.

Next, you need to know where the work comes

from…

AssociationsMost associations require members to earn education credits every year this means their events are typically well attended.

CorporationsCorporations have an on-going need for staff training and often have regional and national events either for staff and/or clients.

Not-For-ProfitsEven small, local not-for-profits need facilitation of planning sessions, staff training and even executive coaching.

Speaker BureauBureaus are private companies that secure bookings for speakers in return for a commission. With an “exclusive” agreement all bookings go through the bureau.
