Since coaches can help with your fitness goals, your golf swing and your kid’s baseball team, doesn’t it make sense to hire a speech coach to help you achieve the next level of speaking success? Yes, of course, but before you let your fingers Google “speech coach,” you need to get clarity on few things to know for sure if hiring a speech coach is the right thing for you and your business. The first step is to determine your ultimate speaking stage and then how you wish to make money from your speaking. Do you plan to attract new clients from your speaking or get paid to deliver a speech? Once you have a solid goal and a plan for how you will get a return on the investment of hiring a speech coach, the next step is find the right one for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The different versions of speech coach—content, delivery and speaker marketing coaches—and who should hire which one.
• How you determine who you will work including the questions you should be prepared to ask prospective coaches
• Why your success in working with the coach depends on your dedication and commitment to the systems the coach has set up
