PSA – The Association for Professional Speakers, Trainers, Coaches, and Influencers
We are the connectors, the communicators, the storytellers who inspire and create change. In a world that often feels fragmented, the ability to connect deeply has never been more vital whether that’s with our clients, their audiences, or each other.
Connection is at the heart of what we do. It’s what transforms a presentation into a conversation, a speech into a story that lingers, and a business into a community. As speakers, trainers, and coaches, we hold the power to bring people closer to ideas, to opportunities, and to one another.
This year, as we embrace The Art of Connection, we’ll explore how to build stronger, more meaningful relationships which foster trust, spark collaboration, and amplify our collective impact. Together, we’ll rediscover what it means to Speak More and Speak Better – not just to be heard, but to truly connect.
The PSA has always been more than a professional association; it’s a thriving community where connection fuels growth and success. Across our regions, conventions, and shared experiences, we’ll continue to learn from one another, challenge one another, and celebrate one another.
This is not just a theme. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with purpose, passion, and authenticity. Because when we master The Art of Connection, we don’t just speak. We inspire change. We strengthen communities. We shape the future.
Let’s make this the year of connection and together, we’ll speak more, speak better, and connect like never before.
What sets us apart from other organisations?
We value connection
Our members support one another and regularly engage in sharing best business practices and expertise. We acknowledge and embrace the diversity of thought, identity and business model of our membership, knowing this strengthens us all individually and collectively. We welcome new members openly and serve our existing community of members and customers as trusted partners.
We strive for excellence
Our members act ethically and professionally both within the PSA and when representing the PSA in their work. We take ownership of our continuous development, knowing that this personal growth ensures the professional speaking community is synonymous with high quality and distinction.
We respect one another
Our members collaborate freely and generously, without imposition. In our diverse community, we acknowledge there will be differing experiences, opinions and business models, so we provide and receive feedback with generosity and grace. We act with integrity, open-mindedness and kindness to our PSA community and our customers.
Join our community
At the PSA we are proud of the relationships that our members build with each other. They support each other and their businesses. Speaking is a competitive industry and yet they all work together, building a strong community.
