A few years ago, I attended a luncheon event put on by the local business journal for corporations and small businesses in the area. I was a friend of one of the corporate sponsors and was invited to also attend a breakfast event just for VIPs. During the breakfast, the keynote speaker gave us a special presentation. He was entertaining and informative, everyone enjoyed listening to him.
Unfortunately, the presentation for keynote later that day was the VERY SAME presentation the speaker had given at breakfast. Those of us who had attended the breakfast looked at each other in shock. Did he not know the same people would be in the audience? One woman commented that she couldn’t believe he only had one presentation; she found it very unprofessional and guessed that he really didn’t know his topic very well.
Are you giving multiple speeches to the possibly the same audience at your own seminar or have you been hired to speak at different sessions at someone else’s event? Make sure you are prepared with different presentations so people view you as an expert in your field and a valuable speaker
