Dana D’Orsi Asks: What are your top tips for new speakers trying to book speaking engagements?

Think about who is hungry for the transformation that you offer, and ask yourself where do these people congregate? Look around locally for gatherings, and associations. Also try using Meetup or Linked-in to find virtual venues as well. If you know what problems your ideal audiences are facing, those are great thing to be addressing in your signature talk. In fact, I suggest working the problem into your talk title, to really get folks attention right away. This will make your talk a “hot topic” right off the bat, and will help it stand out as something that organizations and groups will want to host.
