In today’s episode I will be showing you the avenues you can go down to build, package and grow your authority no matter the industry.

This will allow you to:

1) Build trust with cold audiences

2) Remove risk from event organisers looking to book you (as they know you an expert/authority)

3) Lead to more and more speaking engagements

Victor Ahipene: Hey team, welcome to day two of the speak to sell video series. I really hope you’ve had a chance to work out your supermodel speaking system is it really sits that foundation to build up your speaking career and to be able to position yourself to be able to get onto stages. So what we’re going to be working on today is how you can package up some of the, uh, some of the accolades that you have been able to achieve throughout and within your industry that are going to allow for social proof and social markers for different key individuals and the first key individual that you’re going to be wanting to build your authority up for event organizers. So what you’ve got to understand is when there’s an event that event organizers looking for speakers and there’s a lot of them out there and when they’re looking for a speaker, there’s a huge risk on them. If they get a bad speaker, it’s a reflection not only on you as a bad speaker but also them as an event organizer and a lot of event organizers are very, very tight and talk to each other. On the flip side, if you’re a good, uh, if you are a good speaker, a good presenter, a good trainer, you are going to reflect well onto the event organizer and are going to spread the spread the gospel of what a great speaker you are, which is what we ideally want. If you haven’t got a warm lead into these event, different event organizers, you’re going to have to have enough or authority to de-risked this. And so I’ve developed a start or authority ecosystem where you can find out the things that you have and start packaging them together. So when you’re out there pitching these different stages and reaching out to these different people that you have your authority ecosystem set up and you’ll see why it’s an ecosystem. As we get further through today’s training. The second group of key individuals that you want to build your authority out for is of course your audience. If you had two identical people sharing the same message and one had say, being featured in the media or had written a book or had created their own supermodel speaker system versus someone just presenting it as per usual, your message is going to get a few, have positioned yourself as an authority that’s going to get through to their audience a lot better. Reason being as your audience is listening and they’re sitting there and they’re going, is this person worthy of teaching me? Look, you’re already authority being in front of them, but they’re saying, is this person or does this person have the required qualifications? And it doesn’t have to be formal qualifications or the or the authority to be able to speak on this particular thing.

And if they say yes, well that’s one barrier broken down for them to maybe decide to use products or your services. We’ll take the first course of action towards whatever change you are putting out there. So let’s jump into this. The star authority ecosystem. So each letter in the word star makes up a different strand of authority that you can build up in the first lesson. We’ve already touched on it a speaking, so just being up on a stage puts you, usually you’re elevated to everybody else and that is automatically going to position you as an authority. You’ve been invite

We are all experts at something. What’s important is being able to package and position ourselves in that area. Learn how to create a speaking system using what you already know to speak from 3 minutes to 3 days without having to ever use cluttered slides or cue cards ever again.

You can do this and more using my Supermodel Speaking System

Victor Ahipene: Hi team! Victor Ahipene here, and I’m super excited to have you on this five day video speak to cell challenge over the next five days. The aim is to take you from where ever you are in your business currently to where you want to be and if there’s more leads, more revenue or freeing up more time, then I’m here to show you that the speak to sell methodology is the vehicle to be able to get you there. You see a lot of us look to try and recreate the wheel though. These shiny things, new marketing avenues, new social media platforms, all these different things that we see our competitors and compatriots using. Look, what I’m here to tell you is that public speaking is the highest paid method out of any of them as the highest paid industry in the world. There’s not many other places that I can think of where you can make seven figures from a 60 to 90 minute presentation and I’m going to pull back the numbers later in the week on a speaker who made three point $6 million in a 90 minute presentation and look, I’m not saying that’s going to be you at the end of this week. What I’m saying is what would a $10,000 a hundred thousand dollar or yeah, $500,000 presentation mean to your business. For a lot of businesses, they wouldn’t be able to handle 3.6 million versus worth of new business coming in tomorrow. So they’ve got to have those structures sit up. But four, you know, one of my students, he generated six figures from his first presentation from stage having never spoken in front of an audience before and that’s exactly what I want from you. It’s an everyday business owner now with extraordinary results. We’ve all been in those conferences in the past and we’ve seen that speaker who’s just bought us to death of either turn to 45 degrees and they are reading off PowerPoint slides. They’ve got cue cards or they’ve got big A4 piece of paper that they’re reading of. Look, if that’s you, saves me some time. If I’m in the audience, email me your slides. I can probably read them quicker than you can present. What I want to show you over the coming days as a way that you can position and package up your ideas and your expertise to get you onto the ideal stages in front of your ideal audience. Look, I’ve made six figure presentations in front of three people. You can do the exact same. It doesn’t have to be auditoriums full of of raving crazy people who have come to to see the biggest and brightest names in the world. It can be a small room of 3,10 20,30 people that can create your six figure presentation. And so what we’re going to do once we have packaged up your expertise and we’re going to begin with that today, is then we’re going to show you the stages that you can potentially get on this five different types of stages that a lot of people under estimate or don’t think about. They’ve got, they’ve got blinders on and they say, I want to be a keynote presenter, or I want to be a workshop trainer, and what I’m going to show you, which I’ve never revealed outside of my one-to-one private students, is my Trojan horse method and this is what tunes four or five figure presentations and to six and multiple, six bigger presentations and it doesn’t involve any more outreach or marketing on your

Victor Ahipene: Speaking nation. Welcome to another episode of Public Speaking Secrets podcast I’m your host Victor Ahipene, super excited to have you on today. If you’re looking to get into today consulting thoughts, things, then we’ve got precisely for you for that because for the last 15 years Elisa Hays has been a chief daydreamer. She is a keynote speaker, a consultant and author and she speaks to audiences and transforms them on the public side. Leadership, resilience and inclusions. I super excited to have you on today. So welcome to the show.

Elisa Hays: Thank you very much. Happy to be here.

Victor Ahipene: If, let me have a bit of a background. How did you get into speaking around? It’s kind of got their own story on, on the turning point. Yeah. Yeah. We don’t all just go, oh, I might be a public speaker where I’d go up. Did it all kind of come about for you?

Elisa Hays: Uh, it was Doug Carver, eighth grade teacher. Actually I, I took a, in middle school I took a beginning public speaking class. I don’t even remember why I was super nervous and super nerdy. Um, I did one speech and then he came up to me afterwards. He said, you know, I would really like for you to transfer to the advanced class and I’d like for you to audition for the play. Will you do that for me? And be in the advanced acting class as well. And so I said, um, okay. And he pretty much set the direction for the rest of my life. I was 13 years old.

Victor Ahipene: And how did that transitioning into the professional realm?

Elisa Hays: Well I, I did public speaking throughout competitively throughout high school and college won trophies all over the country of, which was great. I also did theater and then went on to get a fine arts degree in theater performance. And ultimately as an actor it’s actually really hard to earn a living. So I, I fell into doing some other work in children’s theater actually and ultimately through a whole big long story that we don’t have time for. That led me to doing a one woman show devoted to helping kids build their confidence and self esteem in front of an audience of adults and helping the adults to let loose their imagination and loosen their grip on uh, being stern and stiff and very professionally presented and to actually lighten up and play and use their imagination because that’s how creative things get done.

Victor Ahipene: Nice. And through through that, how, what was your steps to being able to I guess, grow that side of the business? Like I mean for a lot of speakers that I speak to me, they usually get a group one together. You can and you might have a few shoots that you work with and you apply them and maybe they’re friends and all the parents come along and the units that, okay, well that whole same or have been able to put out how do I, my advantage, the tight day to the next level.

Elisa Hays: Aye. I actually ended up starting a company and it started out as just me, like most speaker

Victor Ahipene: Speaking nation. Welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets podcast. I’m your host, Victor Ahipene, super excited to have you on here because I know a lot of you are looking to get your message out there more, whether that be for your business, your brand or your legacy. And I’ve got just the person to help you today, Tim David on the show, he is the founder of get speaking gigs.com which I think a, yeah, kind of says what it does on the wrapper would that uh, with that domain name, it’s nothing that you have to kind of start getting yet. Start getting, figuring out what it is. So welcome to the show, Tim.

Tim David: Thank you so much victor. I appreciate you having me.

Victor Ahipene: Yeah, it’s my pleasure. Before we kind of get into what get speaking gigs dot commerce and some insights on how people, I guess, can get into more speaking gigs, how to, how to Joel speaking, uh, life, I guess kind of begin? Well, I started as a professional magician and a was doing 300 to 350 gigs a year. Touring all over the place. I did that for almost nine years. It was a lot of fun. So glad I did it. Um, quite a profession with lots of stories to tell. But then I had a baby and I wanted to be home and not touring for 350 days a year. Problem was, I started my magic business right out of high school, had zero work experience other than McDonald’s and uh, just had no marketable skills. You know, it’s like anything that you, you need experience to get the job, but you need the job to get the experience. So I was at a catch 22 and I asked myself, how can I leverage the talents that I already have, which is basically standing on a stage, talking into a microphone and doing magic tricks. How can I leverage that to where I’m doing fewer gigs every single year, but making the same amount of money. And as it worked out, I’m doing a lot fewer gigs. I’m under 50 now, which I never thought possible. And, uh, making still three times as much as I was making touring as a, as a professional magician. So that’s how I got started. A or rather was my motivation to get started. I know people have a lot of different motivations. Uh, but for me, I’m going to be frank, it was not about, uh, spreading a message or, or a legacy. It wasn’t about so much about making an impact in the world. Yes, I had those motivations and no speaker will ever be successful without a passion for helping people. But I’ll tell you, I wanted them checks, I wanted them checks and I saw how much pay speakers were getting paid compared to what magicians were getting paid. And men, Oh man, here in the states, you know, 5,000, 10,000, $20,000 a speech was, was blowing my mind. So, so that’s where I went. I focused exclusively in the corporate world, corporations, associations, and anybody who has any questions about how to break into that market, how to maximize your revenues as a speaker in those kinds of markets. Uh, happy to, happy to talk to you. And that’s where it gets speaking. gigs.com came from.

Victor Ahipene: and it’s, so was it speakers coming to you going, hey, you’ve, you’ve done a lot of these, uh, how, how can we get into some of

Tim David: it was a magicians coming to me. My first, I don’t know, a hundred clients were probably magicians, jugglers, face painters, stilt walkers. It was a, it was weird. I would hold live events and it was weird in the hallways, man. It&

Victor Ahipene: Speaking nation, what’s happening? Welcome to another episode of public speaking secrets. I’m your host Victor Ahipene, and we’ve got the second part with second part of this episode with Chris Baldwin, who is being on a meteoric rise in the speaking world. And if you haven’t checked out the first part of this two part series and I highly recommend there are some absolute gold nuggets, nuggets in there for everyone who has an aspiring or currently successful speaker to be able to leverage and grow a really effectively, some really, really, uh, awesome things that I’ve actually taken down myself that I’ll be moving forward. So welcome back, Chris.

Chris Baldwin: Thanks Victor. Thanks for having back.

Victor Ahipene: Well, I wanted to touch on today, uh, we spoke about last week your, you’re different mindsets and we could only really just touch on them. So I wanted to deep dive a bit more into, you said you’ve got seven mindsets of a speaker and I’d love it if you could share with our audience, uh, you know, either all of those or you know, whatever you have the at the time to, to share with us with.

Chris Baldwin: Yeah. So, you know, when I started, ah, as a professional speaker, literally trying to build a career through speaking or at least you speaking as a vehicle, as a medium to build a business, to build a consultancy, to build whatever, whatever’s behind the speaking. Because it’s never about speaking itself. Speaking is just a channel on how to communicate. It’s about, you know, why you speaking in the first place. And um, and you know, I decided I’m a strategist and I like, um, I understand that life is all about choices. You know, there’s only two things you have to do in life. You can’t get out of two things and one of them is die. We all have to die. And you know, there are, there are silicon valley startups to solve for that problem. Yeah. Uh, you know, eventually we’re going to be uploading the cloud and be immortalized and all of that. Yup. Um, and the other one is make choices. You can’t get out and making choices. And even if you don’t choose, you still make me a choice. You’re choosing for someone else to choose for you. And that my tedtalk is actually the choice is yours. It’s all about this. It’s all about the choices we make when we adopt the technology into our lives and our organizations. And this is our choice. You know, we complain about Facebook taking too much of our time, but it’s our choice, our choice to spend time on Facebook. And I’m, when you can start to realize that everything comes down to choices, then sort of what turned into my head was, well, if I can choose, most of the time when we slow down, it’s, it’s our inability to choose. And so we outsource that to somebody else. And then that makes us unhappy because someone else is controlling us. But what if we could I actually have a framework, a decision making framework that helps us choose very quickly. Do I say yes? Do I say no? Do I go left? Do I go right? And then all of a sudden it becomes very clear and you get clarity in your mind and you know that whatever, whatever choices you make, it adheres to these, to these values, these beliefs that you have. And so this, I developed the seven mindsets of this as a decision making framework to help me

Chris Baldwin: Thanks Victor. Thanks for having me.

Victor Ahipene: So lit. Let’s get a bit of a, as a slight background into you, you’ve obviously grown massively in you and you’re speaking at space last year and this year. What are, what are you speaking about? And I guess what gives you the credibility to speak to different audiences?

Chris Baldwin: So speaking as being something that I took on recently, like I’ve only really been speaking professionally for a year and, and speaking for two years, and the first year was actually within my organization. It was within IPG, which is one of the big five media companies in the world. IPG Mediabrands specifically. And, uh, and I started, um, actually we’re, where it all started was I was tasked as a strategy director. I was tasked with giving, with actually building the new mission vision for the agency, like the next chapter. And I had to, um, to communicate this internally. So I started speaking internally and, and one of the requirements I gave to people is that they needed to present this themselves. Okay. And, uh, and a lot of people had trouble presenting it. And so I started to train people to speak internally within my organization to present the mission, vision themselves so that they could bring this up in pitches, client pitches, and then just one thing led to another. And all of a sudden I started being tagged as the speaker within my agency and I started being asked to go into industry podiums and actually present on digital marketing. And, um, and then that’s how it all started. And what I did was, um, I built a model, cool, meaningful connections. I made it up. I literally made it up. I literally, I woke up at 3:00 AM on a Sunday morning and within 40 minutes I had this model written out. It’s, it’s basically, uh, the steps on how to build customer happiness. And it’s a four step process and it’s a model that describes sort of the digital ecosystem we’re in and how to build relationships through the digital ecosystem. And I call it meaningful connections. You know, in a hyper connected well, people would seek out the meaningful connections. And so what I did, I actually made something up that nobody else had. And that

I think the last I was looking back, the last time we spoke on a podcast and uh, he was running events, uh, he was running some, uh, the your great be or greatness or something along those lines.

Brett Campbell: Thanks for having me again. Um, thanks for totally chewing and spitting up. Um, you know, the intro to myself. Um, at least you’ve got my name right. That’s probably a main thing. That’s all it really counts now, but my absolute pleasure to be back here in your right. And you know, the last time we did an episode together was, would be a good couple of years ago. And, and since then, um, on know we’ve both been, um, hit down bottom up doing, doing a lot of things. Um, so, uh, yeah, might look forward to, to share with your audience.

I don’t know anyone better in the online marketing space than Brett and uh, yeah, he’s got some runs on the board. So why should people listen to you? What, what, what have you kind of done up to now?

Brett Campbell: Yeah, man. I can give you the Ogilvie, the sort of highlight, real a quick version of it, just so people can, can get some context. Um, cause I believe this really ties into speaking as a whole. Um, you know, I knew at an early age as far back as I could remember that I was put on this planet to speak right when I first started speaking, I didn’t know it was going to be speaking in a format where I can help motivate and inspire and drive other people to live to their ultimate potential. It was more about, I just had a lot of words that I wanted to say. So I was a really talkative kid right at school, you know, my mom said I could talk underwater. Um, yeah, so I took that as a, as a nice little accolade. I was like, oh, that’s good. You know. But, um, I was, I was a kid that got kicked out of high school because I was speaking too much. Like I’d speak to my friends, I’d always want a conversation. I’d always want to talk about stuff. Right. I was super curious. Um, kicked out
