Regardless of the industry or discipline in which your expertise as a speaker falls, people who speak professionally have many things in common. Many are entrepreneurs or small business owners. Challenges related to marketing products and services, keeping up with technological advances and anticipating trends are common to everyone. There is no such thing as a speaking circuit, so how do you reach potential clients? How do you expand your skill set to increase your value to clients once you have them? With long hours, travel and an ever-changing cast of clients, speaking can be a lonely profession. What is the best way to expand your network of colleagues and connect to people who do what you do? The National Speakers Association brings speakers together to address these issues. NSA is a community of thousands of speaking professionals all over the world o a community where the pursuit of knowledge and the sharing of ideas is a way of life.
