Meeting Planners
Plan a Meeting that works!
I am very excited to explore the possibilities of us working together. My goal is the same as yours, to plan and execute the most successful meeting ever! I am happy to speak to you personally about your specific client needs and brainstorm with you to see if I am the right fit for the vision of your meeting. Please feel free to call me at 888-586-8092.
Diane's Commitment to Meeting Planners
Before the I event I will:
- Be available for conference calls to discuss plans for Stop living Life Like an Emergency! or Finding Your Voice keynote.
- Learn what your organization does and why it does it.
- Know why I am there and have a specific plan to accomplish your goals for my presentation.
- Know the theme of your meeting and relate my presentation to it.
- Know why your people would want to hear what I have to say on either of my topics.
- Coordinate with other speakers or the speaker's bureau to assure your goals are met.
- Notify you in advance of my travel itinerary.
On-site, I will:
- Notify you when I arrive on site and contact you immediately should any serious delays occur.
- Be accessible to you from the time I arrive until I leave.
- Tell you the truth 100% of the time.
- Retire early the night before my speech.
- Be reasonable and considerate in my use of room charges and incidental expenses.
- Be in the meeting room for a sound check at least one hour before I speak.
- Coordinate with the set-up crew and other presenters to make sure my needs fit your overall needs.
- Stay out of the way until it is my turn to speak.
- Study your audience and the other speakers to align my message with them.
- Be dressed appropriately, always one step more formal or business-like than the audience.
- Provide an easy, brief introduction and be available to coach my introducer.
- Make suggestions to the crew as to how to maximize audience impact through creative use of lights, sound or staging.
- Be in the room, seated and visible to you before my introduction begins.
During my presentation, I will:
- Walk on stage cheerfully and open my speech with energy and purpose.
- Never use off-color language or material.
- Interact constantly with the audience and involve them through questions, a show of hands, eye contact and exercises as appropriate.
- Present well-researched, profound information.
- Use stories and humor liberally.
- Use appropriate slides and audio clips or video clips to enhance the look, feel and impact of my speech.
- React maturely, good-naturedly and flexibly to any problems that arise. This includes: audio visuals, lights, sounds, emergencies, etc.
- Never be rude to an audience member.
- Allow for questions and comments from the audience during my presentation.
- Summarize my points and give ways to remember my key points.
- Relate my points to your organization and people.
- Never abuse my assignment by turning my speech into a sales pitch.
- Only offer my books and tapes if approved or requested in advance.
- Stick to my time frame and adjust if needed.
After my presentation I will:
- Be available after my speech briefly to answer questions or hear comments.
- Check out and depart with minimal effort to you.
- Itemize my expenses and bill you promptly after the speech.
- Provide receipts as needed.
- Promptly fill any orders for my products.
- Send a copy of my email newsletter for each audience member as a follow-up, if desired.
- Suggest strategies to continue the impact of my message during follow-up.
- Never disclose any sensitive information about your organization.
- Be willing to accept email to follow up on the speech from individual audience members or executives.
IN SUMMARY
I will deliver a great presentation in a highly professional manner.
