Setting
Your Personal Speaking Goals
(c) 1999 LJL Seminars
At the end of each year I try to sit down and establish
some new goals for the upcoming year. Before I do this I
take some time to reflect on the previous year as what I
accomplished. I try to look at what went well this year
as well as what did not work so well.
It is only after this process can I decide what makes
sense to eliminate and what makes sense to keep doing.
Do you set goals? Do you have some established
end-of-year routine that you do to determine what needs
to change? If you don't already, this is the year to
start the process of reflecting on your accomplishments
for the previous year and establishing new goals for the
current year.
I often decide in the early part of each year what
seminars, workshops or training I want to take for
myself. People often ask me why I continue to attend
seminars even though I am a professional speaker. I tell
them that even professional speakers need to "sharpen
their skills" or even attend courses to just validate
what they do now.
Professional speakers learn a lot from each other.
Professional speakers realize the importance of honing
their skills on a regular basis and often work with
speaker coaches. Whether you are a professional speaker
or someone just starting as a speaker it is important to
constantly improve what you do. Maybe your goal is to
develop a new or additional topic to speak on. That's
what I did... I have prepared several sessions aimed at
helping other people, especially speakers grow their
internet business. My new 90 minute keynote and FULL day
session is entitled, "How to Grow Your Business Using
the Internet". These programs are designed to help
people with the powerful technology we have in front of
us today...The internet.
Maybe your goal is to become a professional speaker or
maybe your goal is to speak more than your did last
year. Maybe you goal is to learn how to use the internet
more effectively. In any event, take the time to reflect
on what your did this past year and write down what you
hope to achieve this year.
