SUMMARY:score: Growing your Business through Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 4\, 2025 (Online Webinar) \nTime: 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. CDT \nSCORE: Growing your Business through Public Speaking \nDescription: Instead of spending hours on individual Discovery calls or attending networking groups\, you can reach multiple audiences with one speech at a time as a public speaker. Yet\, creating a new speech every time you speak is only going to confuse your potential clients (and destroy your invitations to additional speaking opportunities). Enter the signature story. Having a signature story is the key to showing up as a thought leader with a consistent message. A single 60 minute speech shows that you have a dedicated mission to share with audiences and increase your chances of referrals. Plus\, once you have the speech mapped out\, you can easily apply and pitch for future speaking opportunities as a paid expert! The clearer you are in your talk- the more opportunities you have to grow both your platform and profits. In the Growing YourBusiness through Public Speaking masterclass\, ICF certified speaker coach Jenn will walk you through:  \n• How to narrow down your speaking topic\n• Creating a title that pops!\n• Identifying the description\, audience takeaways\, and call to action aka Speakerkit\n• Creating a short and long bio that establishes your expertise in a fun way\nLocation: Online \nCost: FREE \nQuestions contact: SCORE Twin Cities\, twincities@scorevolunteer.org 952-938-4570 \nRegister: https://www.score.org/twincities/event/growing-your-business-through-public-speaking-3
