Key Notes
- Importance of Energy in Speaking: Daniel emphasizes that many speakers fail because they present in a robotic, monotone way, disengaging their audience. Energy and enthusiasm are essential to captivating listeners.
- Preparation is Key: Aspiring speakers often want to jump to big stages but fail to realize the importance of preparation. Mastering your stories, and practicing, and developing your speaking skills are essential to success.
- Building a Speaking Business: Daniel highlights that speaking isn’t just about the act itself; it’s about building a business around it. His “Sticker Shock Speaking Academy” teaches speakers how to transition from unpaid to paid gigs by creating a speaking business.
- The Role of a Book in Speaking: Daniel suggests that writing a book or contributing to an anthology can give speakers credibility and provide an additional revenue stream. A book can serve as a powerful tool to engage your audience at speaking events.
- The Value of Reps and Practice: Becoming a professional speaker requires constant practice and getting “reps” by speaking at local events, rotary clubs, and networking meetings. The more practice, the better you become.
- Pricing as a Speaker: Daniel talks about how speakers should value themselves properly. Pricing too low can diminish your perceived value. He shares his journey from charging $1,000 to earning $10,000 for a speaking engagement by continuously raising his prices.
- Tailoring Your Message: A successful keynote speaker tailors their message to the audience they are addressing. Daniel explains how to ask event planners for key takeaways they want for their audience, and then adjust your speech to meet those goals.
- Imposter Syndrome: Many aspiring speakers struggle with imposter syndrome, doubting their abilities. Daniel encourages speakers to push past those doubts, start where they are, and take action to improve.
- Key Elements of a Keynote Speech: A keynote should take the audience on an emotional journey. Start with an intriguing story to hook the audience, interweave facts with personal stories, and end with a heartfelt, memorable conclusion.
- Continuous Learning and Networking: Daniel advises speakers to stay current by continually learning and surrounding themselves with people who are further along in their speaking careers.
