Nigel Risner PSAE – How to Create Massive Impact
If you’re a professional speaker looking to elevate your impact and secure more bookings, this is a session you won’t want to miss. Nigel Risner’s keynote, “How to Create Massive Impact”, will show you how to be remembered, how to be rebooked, and how to present with authenticity.

You’ll discover how to avoid speaking for free, how to craft a “Martini speech” that works anytime, anyplace, anywhere, and how to apply Nigel’s FIT, FEE or FLEE method to assess speaking opportunities.

Packed with practical strategies and delivered by one of the most dynamic voices in the speaking world, this session is designed to help PSA members speak more, speak better, and build a thriving speaking career.
