With the nights ‘drawing in’, all too quickly, it’s time for our first warming autumn event at PSA Scotland. October sees us welcome James Perryman with his keynote talk – ‘Be yourself. Not them. Be here. Not when.’ In his talk, James will ask us to consider the what and when of our ‘destination’ and highlight some different perspectives regarding high performance and our happiness.

Showcase: We also have a ‘Showcase’ (where a member gets to try out new material, rehearse, showreel or simply ask for peer advice/support on some aspect of their speaking business).

Tea/coffee and a buffet supper will be provided.

So, don’t miss out on this chance to develop your skills, meet like-minded individuals, and take the next step in your speaking journey. Register now for PSA Scotland’s October 2023 event and unlock your full potential as a speaker. It will be held at APEX Waterloo Place Hotel, on Tuesday 24th Oct 2023.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

 

Keynote: Be yourself. Not them. Be here. Not when. – with James Perryman

In the pursuit of happiness and success, it can become normal to pin all of your hopes and dreams to a destination.
A destination where your goals are met, life is balanced and where you have reached “happy”.
A moment where your version of ‘high performance’ is a reality.
Or is it someone else’s destination that you’re trying to reach?
What if your happiness and success could be related to your ‘here and now’, where the destination happens as a result of who you are, what you are and everything you know and can offer?
Are you ready for your moment?

In his enlightening and raw talk “Be yourself. Not them. Be here. Not when”, James will show you how:

  • Achieving your future goals comes from believing in yourself and the actions you take today.
  • Everything you’ve learnt, experienced and done in the past, is what makes the present you.
  • ‘High performance’ should be a way of living in the present, more than a measure of the future.
