I'm a former TV reporter/anchor, Lilly spokesperson and international communications advisor. Having been in front of a camera -- asking questions or answering them -- speaking in front of groups was a natural part of the job. When I joined the National Speakers Association 12 years ago, I learned the fine points of running a speaking business. The learning curve was very quick--thanks to NSA and all the wonderful educational programs --both at the local and national level. If you do plan to earn money by speaking in your area of expertise, it behooves you to come to NSA-Indiana meetings. Here's the website: http://www.nsa-indianaspeakers.com/

I am not yet a member of NSA, but am interested in public speaking. I invite members of this group to "My Friends" and to visit my website, www.WriterSeries.com.

I'm impassioned about speaking and want to forge ahead to becoming a professional speaker.

Having taken a sabatical from speaking for several years to get my Ph.D., I'm back. I am a Past-President of NSA-Indiana Chapter and am almost as good as Deno Rousopoulos...but with more hair.

I'm not actually a member of that association. Do a lot more free lance stuff. What are the advantages of being involved?

I was recently at an event where the speaker had a very good topic. It was on subject and upbeat. Then the speaker chose to end it with a very sad illustration that was personal to many people in the room. There were hundereds of other stories that could have been used, while this one was a good illustration, it was inappropriate for the room. What started off as a good speech, crashed at the end. Moral of the story, know your audience.

Welcome David, are you a member of the national speakers association? Thought you might be since you have been speaking for 10 years.

Hi Guys, I've been speaking professionally for 10 years with Youth Specialties out of Southern California. This year I've also had the opportunity to write a book (Chew on This - Zondervan) for students and youth workers. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in Toronto, CA preparing to speak tomorrow morning. I lead a day long seminar for Youth Workers, Parents and Students. I'm also working on a video-based website called www.justlife.tv which is kicking off in September and is meant to encourage spiritual conversations between friends. I live in Fishers and would be interested in continuing this conversation with people who know and understand what this lifestyle is all about...
