The Inside Track on Becoming More Bookable as a Speaker with Seth Dechtman - 308

One of the questions I get asked most is how do I get booked consistently for paid speaking gigs. I have my views on this from a speaker and speaking coach perspective, but I wanted to get a view from someone with another angle. That's why I invited Seth Dechtman onto the show. Seth works with event planners for some of the biggest organisations and conferences. He knows exactly what they are looking for, and he has a network of some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He offers the gold standard in service to make sure that events go as smoothly as possible and the organisers look like rockstars!  He is here to share the inside track on what organisers are looking for in a keynote speaker, why he chooses to work with some speakers over others and what you can do to maximise your chances of getting booked and paid to speak. Enjoy!   If you'd like to watch the video of the episode, you can do that here:   What you'll discover: How Seth got into curating speakers. The consistent themes that come up in an event brief.
