How can you get the edge as a professional speaker?

What can you do to make yourself more marketable?

Well today on the show, my guest Elliot Kay, will be sharing valuable insights on how to achieve just that through The Speaker Awards.

Elliot is co-founder of the speaker awards, a speaking coach, and a professional speaker. 

About three years ago, he saw a huge gap for speakers, and had a big idea to fill it. 

That’s when The Speaker Awards were born, and over those three years they have gone from strength to strength. 

Eliot has gathered the great and the good from the speaking industry and you are going to be getting insights and behind the scenes info that will help you raise your profile, whether you enter the awards or not.

We’re going to be talking about the awards, the judges, the categories and the criteria, and tips for applying and winning and having more impact with your speaking in general.

So strap in and listen, as this episode will give you so much value to move your speaking career forward.
