Takeaways
PDF key slides
I’m always happy to share the slide deck in the form of a PDF ‘highlights’ version to anyone who wants a copy although for some events I might offer additional material for specific requests.
Hand-outs
Sometimes they’re useful, sometimes not. That’s when I provide them. Or not.
Audience feedback surveys
These are invaluable for any speaker wanting to hone their craft but not all clients can be bothered to organise a survey in which case I’m happy to conduct a quick audience survey of my session and share the results.
Post Session Engagement
Post session interviews & pics
Some clients like a little ‘media souvenir’ from the event; sometimes that’s a post-session interview to camera or just some simple group photos. That’s always fun for me and the organisers seem to get a kick out of it, so if that’s something you’d like don’t hesitate to ask.
Post session involvement
I’m usually in no hurry to rush off after a session so if you’d like a ‘Meet the Speaker’ type side-event I’ll be there. And if there’s a raffle that needs drawing or a door prize that needs handing out I’m happy to help there, too.
Seriously, I’m not proud.
Debrief
I recommend a follow-up debrief call no later than a fortnight after the event to glean what lessons we can from the experience and provide any further advice and/or support you and/or our audience might need.
Testimonials
Kind words from happy clients are pure gold to a speaker, worth far more than any fee. And although I’ve never asked for any written testimonial, I am always deeply grateful for them. So if you’re really happy with my work – and I mean really, really, over-the-moon crazy happy – please feel free to put your joy into whatever words come to mind.
I will quote you!
