Did you realize that:
-
Talent, intelligence and hard work are important in determining
your professional success, but not as important as your ability
to say what you mean, confidently and compellingly?
-
How far and fast you rise through the corporate ranks is
directly proportionate to your ability to command respect every
time you talk?
-
Your success as an entrepreneur or business owner depends on how
visible you are – which is determined by how often and how well
you speak at professional meetings, state conferences, and
national summits?
-
You can exponentially increase your income by developing a
one-of-a-kind topic, title, identity and approach that has
meeting planners, media, clients, program coordinators and
publishers seeking you out?

Why is
Developing my Speaking Skills So Important?
“Mend your speech a little lest you mar your fortunes.”
-Shakespeare
Before Barack Obama (D – Illinois) took the stage at the 2004 Democratic
National Convention, he was a respected Senator but hardly a household
name.
Fifteen minutes later, he had put himself on the national political map
with his galvanizing presentation that took the convention and TV
audience by storm. His extraordinary platform presence catapulted him
from being one of a forgettable many into being a leading presidential
candidate.
Others spoke at that convention – but they said nothing special and
their names aren’t even remembered. Obama’s stirring message and
masterful delivery so impressed the millions watching, they’re still
buzzing about him years later.
Obama certainly made the most of his fifteen minutes of fame. Are you
ready to make the most of yours?
If you capitalize on speaking opportunities by crafting one-of-a-kind
titles, topics, ideas and approaches that cause you to stand out,
audience members will become your word of mouth ambassadors. They’ll
sing your praises to others, elect to work with you, and buy your
associated products and services.

What’s
Intriguing about Sam’s Approach to Speaking?
“Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the
largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he made
with others and what happens to him.” -Virginia Satir
There are plenty of courses and organizations out there that can teach
you how to put together a decent speech. I believe it’s not enough to
“deliver a decent speech.”
I believe the world is hungry for speakers who thrill them with
thought-provoking substance, inspiring ideas, and eloquent
delivery. People today have attended dozens of seminars and conferences.
They’re yearning for someone to pleasantly surprise them with innovative
insights, vivid stories, and fresh perspectives they haven’t heard
before. Every time they walk into a room, they’re hoping the speaker
will transcend same old-same old rhetoric and deliver Purposeful,
Original, Pithy material that stimulates their mind, moves their soul,
and inspires them to take action that produces real-word results.
I don’t just passionately believe excellent speaking is a science and an
art, I’ve had the privilege of being honored as the top-rated speaker at
two International Platform Association conventions. I
was also
selected as the 2003-2004 Outstanding Speaker, and I’ve presented to
more than a half million people worldwide and for such organizations as
NASA, Young Presidents Organization, Fortune 500 Forum, Boeing, Holland
American Cruise Lines, ASAE, Department of Education, State of Hawaii,
and National Governors Association.
My work has been featured in dozens of publications including
Investors Business Daily, Washington Post, Entrepreneur, and
Chicago Tribune, and endorsed by such leading business thinkers as
Stephen Covey, Seth Godin, Jeffrey Gitomer, Mark Sanborn,
Susan Jeffers,
and Ken Blanchard who said
POP! Stand Out in Any Crowd (a
reference text used in this program) is a “Lively, fun, inspiring guide
to getting noticed, getting remembered, and getting results.”
Perhaps even more importantly, I’m known for my ability to help people
take their speaking to another level. My consulting clients and retreat
participants rave about my ability to crystallize their unique
experience into something that broke out and catapulted their success.
As 2007 President of International Coach Federation Kay Cannon said,
"When it comes to working with other
people, I'm tough to
please. I demand personal integrity, extraordinary
skills, a great sense of humor and deep commitment to client results.
Sam Horn has all of these qualities and more. She has the rare ability
to help you rind the hidden genius buried without your thoughts, shape
this into a compelling message and deliver it in an eye-catching
package. Working with Sam dramatically expanded the focus and purpose
of my work."
