Using productive work time to pull staff from their each day activities is hard, particularly when times have been as tough as they are.But, successful senior managers know that it can be quite beneficial to improving overall productivity when they take the time to do it.  They are providing a brief intermission from the hectic day to day for their employees by providing speech presentations on a wide array of topics related and unrelated to their job.

Many speakers are available to provide presentations that will inspire and encourage your employees to learn their inner presentation skills.  It is not critical to find a speaker that will talk directly about your line of work.There are many presentations available that will complement what you do.Your staff will be challenged to reckon in new and creative ways which can often result in a positive increase to the bottom line. 

Here is a checklist of equipment to discuss with a potential speaker:

1.Up Front Details. 

Communicate the exact date, time, and location up front when discussion with potential speakers.Equally vital is the length of the presentation they will be giving.While it may seem overkill to mention this, there have been plenty of instances where a manager has promoted an event only to learn a mix up with the speaker on the date or time needed for the presentation. 

  It will also help if you can give the speaker an estimate of attendees and details about the group they will be discussion to.  This will help them to target their presentation to the audience and give them a better and more meaningful experience. 

2.Event Promotion.

Question the speaker for a summary of their presentation in advance so that you can start building excitement amongst your employees.Flyers, enticing emails describing the event and other promotion all works well.Offer food and other perks that will make it fun. Bottom line is to make sure the employees see the event as a benefit to them rather than something that management is making them do. 

3.         Compensation. 

If you have a budget available to pay a speaker you will be working with a larger choice.Speakers typically charge a set rate for in area and out of area speeches.If out of their area, many may request travel compensation as well, and if you want an extra long presentation they may charge more. 

Don’t worry if cost is a factor.Speaking fees are all over the board, and if you can offer other forms of compensation a speaker is often willing to negotiate.For most, their ultimate objective lies in potential sales of the speaker’s services and products rather than to earn a speaking fee. 

Two typical forms of payment on a low budget are promoting the speaker’s products to the audience, or, even better, buying a copy of their book or product for each attendee. 

There are other ways to compensate a speaker on a low budget.  Open the event up to others in your industry or building to make a larger group.If you can provide name and contact information for the speaker they are often pleased to use that information for future promotion of their own.Many speakers are grateful to receive a fantastic testimonial and entre to similar groups that you know through your personal referral. 

It takes some effort and time to set up a speaker session your employees will delight in and get value from, but it is a fantastic way to build positive energy and increase commitment amongst your staff.It is all vital to always stress the benefit of the experience on the employee, and that you as their manager are committed to their growth as a person.Your final reward will be the positive impact on the company’s bottom line.
