How to Start Speaking Locally
Posted on October 25, 2007
For some authors, the prospect of public speaking is daunting, if not immobilizing. It may be useful for you to get your feet wet speaking in your local community first. You can speak for free at your local chamber of commerce, Rotary Club, and even the public school system. You’ll be amazed how being a published author can open up opportunities … if you’ll go after them.
If you’re unaccustomed to speaking in front of an audience, you may want to take a public speaking course, such as those offered at www.dalecarnegie.com, and definitely consider picking up Terry Pearce’s book Leading Out Loud (Jossey-Bass, 2003).
