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.
