Benefits

Some of the benefits of our program include:

  • Stage Time
    Participants receive presentation skills coaching from several speech experts.

  • Exposure to a Wide Variety of Ideas
    We know that every speaking business is different and aim to provide students with a variety of business models to best meet their needs.

  • Handouts and Worksheets
    Students receive materials at every session that can be referenced again and again.

  • Group Masterminds
    In between class sessions, participants are encouraged to form mastermind groups and develop their topics, marketing pieces, and build their networks.

  • Work towards Membership
    We help students design their path to achieving professional membership in the National Speakers Association.<

A Unique Opportunity: The NSANC Speakers Academy has been created by speakers for speakers. Every element is customized for professional speaking and provides relevant information that can be used immediately. Presenters are successful speakers who share their craft, passion and enthusiasm for speaking along with key tools, techniques and samples of items they use in their own businesses. Hands-on workshops, participant presentation “showcases” and detailed workbooks create an experience-rich learning environment. This is the thirteenth year of this unique program!
