In my keynote speeches, I reveal what it takes to succeed in today's business of thought leadership.
With publishing, speaking and media changing so rapidly, thought leaders are hungry for the right information on how to make a lasting impact with their message.
Whether in front of an audience of executives, entrepreneurs or established thought leaders, I explain what’s required for their message (book), their relationships (platform), and their business model in order to succeed.
With real-time case studies and examples, I also shine a light on what it’s really like on the difficult, often emotional journey to making your mark as a thought leader.
Why Hire Elizabeth?
Many speakers have an “about page” listing the reasons why you should work with them, but frankly, promising things like speaking to the organizer in advance, tailoring the keynote for the audience, and incorporating energy, humor and takeaways for the attendees is a minimum and we should ALL be doing that.
Here are three reasons to hire me as your speaker:
1) I am a recognized thought leader on the business of thought leadership.
I work with top influencers and New York Times bestselling authors, including Seth Godin, Michael Port, and Carol Roth to help them grow their message, platform and impact. My case studies and examples are based on actual strategies my clients are using right now to get results - strategies that your audience can immediately apply to their own work.
2) I am known for building relationships; it’s my brand and what I stand for.
Whether it’s spending extra time to get to know you and the needs of your audience, being accessible to your attendees before and after my talk, supporting the other speakers and finding ways to reinforce their message, I’m invested in your event and your success.
3) I make your job easier.
Conference directors who’ve booked me will tell you that I’m easy to work with and that you can count on me to deliver. Also, I’ve run my own 3-day workshop in New York City and booked speakers for it, so I understand some of the challenges in working with the “talent.” When you hire me, my goal is to create the best and most pleasurable experience you’ve had in working with a speaker.
