Guess what!!?
Last week I got two gigs. I have to deliver one in July, the other one in September. Both pay in the thousands, and both are 3 to 4 hour long. This is how every week of my life should be; but at least one or two weeks a month. The challenge is, that one of them is a keynote speech, and I'll have to put some serious work into that one. Workshops are easy - I already have them downpacked. Keynotes are tough, 'cause.... well, you know... it has to be 100% original, funny, educational, inspirational... hey, you name, it's in there. But I guess for a few thousand $$$s anyone can put their mind to it. (and history has showed that I have no lack in charisma and humour, now I just need to add some good content to it).OK. Great news, ey?
How did I get them?
I presented a free presentation about 2 years ago at a HR managers event, and one of the HR managers approached me and said she'd be interested in having me speak to their employees (400+ employees). I've been working on that deal since then... and now it finally came to fruition.
The other one found me on the internet.
The organizer said that she searched for a long time, but I stood out most.Lesson: have a good website, with good content, professional look, and optimized for the search engines properly so people can find you easily.
