“What is the difference between a good Toastmaster and a professional speaker?”
My answer:
Always remember in the “professional” world you get paid for what you know. You get paid well when you deliver your message superbly. There is no substitute for years of experience. With great professional speakers and trainers they make standing on stage speaking look easy. As Darren LaCroix says “Stage time, stage time.” I would add “stage time” and reflection with good feedback from someone who knows more than you do. One of the biggest leaps forward for me was when I realized “I am receiving my keynote fee and have 6 people in my audience.” These were sales professionals from a client company who wanted to learn what I knew. Professional speakers are “Experts Who Speak” as the National Speakers Association will tell you. It does not matter the size of the audience. It is the quality of the information…well told…and making it look easy.
