Full Calendar Speaking: Unlocking the Secrets to Getting More Clients and Cashing More Checks

We'll be holding our holiday celebration immediately after this session - scroll down for more info!

You don't need a magic wand to fill your speaking calendar, all you need is laser-focused clarity on the problems you solve, a reliable system you can follow, and a willingness to get a little creative in your approach. Steve Hughes turned an empty calendar at the start of COVID into six figures a year later. Full Calendar Speaking is a lively, interactive, content-rich program that shows you new and exciting ways to get similar results. If you’ll apply the strategies taught in this program, you will not only get more dates filled, but you'll have a green light to position yourself as THE best option for meeting planners to hire. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro looking for a reset, you’ll walk away with practical strategies you can apply right away to get more gigs.

By attending this session, you’ll be able to:
• Frame your speaking business in ways that distinguish you from the competition.
• Discover how to naturally build curiosity and expand your opportunities.
• Find creative ways to get “stage time” outside of conferences and meetings.
• Focus every conversation on client needs.
• Set up an “idiot proof” system so that hot leads never grow cold.
• Make every hour you’re not on a stage more fruitful and effective.

We will hold our holiday celebration immediately after the seminar. Join us for light hors d'oeuvres and holiday festivities, including our first (annual?) Parade of Holiday Socks. 

About Steve Hughes, CSP

Steve Hughes, CSP is an award-winning keynote speaker who helps people look and sound smart when they talk. He was working in advertising as the co-owner of a 50-person ad agency in St. Louis when he accepted a dare that changed his life. A "friend" challenged him to do 5-minutes of stand-up comedy at a local club. He accepted. The experience was exhilarating and opened up a whole new world. He kept at it and while "The Tonight Show" never called, a law firm in Chicago did. They asked him to come up to the Windy City to help their lawyers be funny and make better presentations. Again, he said yes. This decision has led to an unexpected speaking career of 1,000+ paid presentations in 40 states and several countries. He wrote Captivate: Presentations That Engage and Inspire in 2016 and he’s been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Businessweek, on NPR, BBC Radio, and CBS. He loves what he does and can't wait to help you take the next step in your professional development. Let's light this candle!
