About this event
This time, our focus is on sharing. Here are some of the benefits you’ll get on the day:
• Marcela Kunova from Journalism.co.uk brings us the training perspective, in a short talk plus Q&A. How do they pick trainers? What makes a good trainer? Which courses sell and why? What can trainers do to help sell their courses? What’s changed in the training world since covid? On-site v Zoom v pre-recorded training? Anything else that would be useful for trainers to know?
• Steve Chapman delivers an interactive talk about creativity. He’s the artist who created a silly painting that morphed from a playful question into a physically viral poster campaign. His session will leave you entertained, inspired and with permission to be weird!
• Our fellow Fellow, Andy Lopata PSAE is going to bring a collaborative idea from one of the UK’s best loved songwriters and pop stars into the world of PSA Fellows. Make sure your boots are made for walking and let’s work together!
• In response to popular demand, Sylvie Di Giusto CSP Zooms in to lift the lid on how she’s used the principle of ‘sharing’ to succeed across all aspects of her business. In particular, she’ll discuss the stagecraft element – how you share from the stage, including the holographic experience. This is less of a presentation and more of a conversation + Q&A.
• Christiana Loizides from Sheridans will join us to discuss key risks and considerations to bear in mind when it comes to protecting your speaking business, including examples of best practice and when people have come a cropper. What are the different ways in which we should protect ourselves from a legal perspective? Why is it important to do so? Understanding IP protection, the process for securing copyright, and how to ensure your business is compliant.
Note that this will be a hybrid event so you also have the option of attending on Zoom.
