Having assisted thousands of meeting planners and working with many of the world’s best speakers since 1999, I believe it comes down to how effectively you answer FIVE questions that every prospective client is asking. It’s no secret that there are LOTS of “professional” speakers — at least 10,000 or more — bidding for speaking engagements these days. How do you stand out from the crowd?

The sexual abuse took place between  1952 and 1999. First it was the sensational, at least in the media, sexual assault trial against St. Paul's senior Owen Labrie. His caper had been called The Senior Salute. And, in the end, it left him convictions on a police record, being identified for life as a sexual predator and the loss of his scholarship to Harvard. Recently, Labrie was denied a new trial. His future appears bleak.

True story: I haven’t formally interviewed for a job since 1999. I haven’t interviewed for a real job since 1999. So when a local university called to ask if I could conduct a training session about interviewing skills, I politely declined. I don’t feel qualified to speak to a modern audience about interviewing for a job. I can personally claim no first-hand expertise in successfully interviewing in this job market — in this century! For me, it’s all about credibility.

That meme of checking out may be contagious. According to The Wall Street Journal , some of the possible causes cited include rising drug use and a scary economy. Maybe so.

In my experience, I see cell phones as a tool that helps us avoid making plans and sticking to them. Cell phones give people an excuse to be late. Today, it’s more popular to say “I’ll just text and say I’m running late,” than it is to actually show up at a previously agreed upon time and place.
