Performance Chemistry

Synopsis of Talk
Performance Chemistry is a must-have life programme for professional speakers. The subject of self-management is tackled with a view to providing maximum, sustained performance and the chemistry it requires to be optimally productive.

The presentation establishes the critical areas of our productive balance sheets, our energy sources and the critical chemistry required to prevent the destructive effects of fatigue, anxiety and loss of focus.

Just as Olympic athletes dedicate themselves to sustained, peak performance, so the “Olympic speaker” needs to recognize that the quality of their performance is based completely on the correct endurance fuel and activation techniques.

In an age where we are accelerating our input and output, there has never been a more important time to understand Performance Chemistry.

Making Money In Your Jammies

Synopsis of Talk

You’ve heard that people make money from their blogs and teleseminars/webinars and subsequent products (MP3s, CDs, transcripts, online learning), but you don’t know how to make that happen. What are ways people actually do create revenue from these sources?
Ideally, you don’t want just one-time income — you want ongoing income. Learn how to create income from blogs, live teleseminars/webinars, recordings, transcripts, subscriptions and bundled related products.
In this engaging, fast-paced, interactive presentation, you will learn:

• What types of income options are possible from your blog.
• How to position your blog to attract pre-paid advertisers, possible sponsors and other revenue generators.
• How you can create ongoing income from teleseminars or webinars.
• How you can repackage your work (blog entries, teleseminar/recordings) into bigger products for more revenue.

Whether you’re a neophyte or veteran speaker/trainer/consultant, you’ll learn how to repurpose your intellectual capital to allow  you to  make lots more money that you don’t even have to get dressed to generate!
Come dressed in jammies if you want — but please wear something!
