How You Can Become a Corporate Speaker

                                          
If you truly enjoy speaking, becoming a corporate speaker may be ideal for you. A lot of organizations and corporations are looking for motivational speakers, presenters at award ceremonies and so on. If the talent is there and you are willing to persevere, you can get to the top in this career.
You should consider the specific field of business that you are knowledgeable about. You must have passion for this field so that you will be able to handle subjects relating to it. In order to get more knowledge about the field, you should read more about it or take a course at a local college and your expertise in this field should be highlighted in your resume
In addition to this, you should practice by writing a speech on any subject related to the field and record yourself presenting it. You can make use of a video recorder so that you will be able to see your posture and gesture during the test presentation.
A voice recorder should be used to practice the tone, cadence and rhythm of your speech and this should be done regularly. You can also practice in front of family and friends so that they can criticize you constructively.

Besides, you can register for a public speaking course at your local college or a public speaking workshop organized by a reputable, qualified individual or organization. Formal education may not be necessary to become a corporate or motivational speaker, but it can help to boost your speaking skills.

When you feel you are polished enough at speaking, you should arrange for unpaid speaking engagements. You can get in touch with local schools or community groups to arrange for engagements. You should then progress to larger speaking engagements, even if they may still be unpaid. Your aim should be to give talks on your field of interest no matter the venue. This will give you the opportunity to hone your skills and get exposed.

The records of each speaking event should be kept and most importantly you can have them recorded on video. You need to accrue a number of years of experience before you can make a living as a professional speaker.

You should join a speaker's bureau when you are ready to advertise yourself as a corporate speaker. Speaker's bureaus will put you on a list of available speakers and will often get speaking engagements for you and take care of the arrangements.
