7 mindsets that allowed Chris to become professional speaker in record time

Chris uses these 7 mindsets to make any decision:

  1. Make event managers life as easy as possible.
  2. Empower your speaker agent, make her successful.
  3. Have a “No problems” attitude.
  4. Always go for the emotional connection.
  5. Live an interesting life. A great speaker is a great storyteller.
  6. Always finish on time.
  7. Be so good they can’t ignore you.

Growing your business through speaking

Chris recommends to stand up and speak internally in your organization.

Chris’ top piece of advice for growing your business through speaking is: Have strategic objectives. Know why you’re speaking, have a plan, know how you will achieve your objectives.

If you give a really good TEDx talk you can leverage in interviews, build credibility, and as an entrepreneur you will get your story out.
