Welcome to the first issue of Speak Up and Make Money, an ezine for speakers and coaches with enquiring minds. Since this is the premier issue, I'm sending it out to my entire list. If you would like to continue to receive future issues of Speak Up and Make Money, you can subscribe by going to http://www.myfastype.com/newsletter.htm. Published six times a year, each issue will provide valuable information and resources to help you build, grow and maintain a successful business. Each issue will include a note from me, a value-packed feature article written by an expert in his/her field on variety of topics, a couple of my favorite business resources that make it easier to do business, and a section announcing upcoming events and teleclasses that you won’t want to miss.

In addition to receiving Speak Up and Make Money every other month, you will also receive a subscription to 'How to Get More Speaking Engagements: 10+ Tips From the Best of the Best!’ You will get a series of 14 success tips from nationally and internationally known speakers such as Debbie Allen, Ron Rosenberg, Ron Kaufman, Sandra Schrift, Jane Atkinson, James Malinchak, Adam Urbanski and many more. One of these tips will arrive every three days in your inbox, with a special bonus at the end.

One of the main reasons I’ve waited this long to publish an ezine is because I didn’t want to start one unless I knew I could provide valuable information and content that will be of benefit to my readers. So please, let me know what you think … I welcome your comments and or (gulp) criticism.

To your success!

“Super-Speaker” May be Perfect, but is He Effective?
By Monica Wofford

Your Audience Prefers a Real Person over Perfection

We have all seen the speakers with perfect gestures, perfect hair and perfect timing. We may have worked with trainers who promise to teach you gestures and presentation skills with finesse and poise. Remember the saying “nobody’s perfect?” If that is true for your audience, wouldn’t that also be true for you as a presenter? The answer is yes! Your audience expects humanity and imperfections, not a flawless “Super-Speaker.” Successful presenters make a connection with their audience. They make mistakes, laugh at their imperfections, and even tell stories of their blunders so that the audience can connect with a real person.   Read the rest of the article.
