Become a professional speaker

Amy Ruddell just happens to be one of my favourite people and agreed to chat with me about how to become a professional speaker.

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking at some of Amy’s conferences including BA*World/Project World an The Administrative Professionals Conference of Canada.

Not only are these events informative, but Amy knows how to bring the FUN!

We talked about:

  • How to reframe your nerves if you’re a first time speaker.
  • What Amy looks for when she chooses speakers for her events.
  • How to “up level” your speaking skills if you want to be a keynote speaker
  • and much, much more (including Amy’s recorder solo!).

What did you enjoy most about this chat with Amy?

Did you have any specific “ahas” or takeaways?

Inquiring minds wanna know!
