Are You a Public Speaker?
By Charlie Lang
HKICC is in the process of setting up a collaboration with "Next Chapter", a Hong Kong based events management company. Next Chapter is in the final steps of starting up a Speakers' Bureau, i.e. an agency that finds appropriate speakers for companies and other organizations who need an expert to deliver a keynote speech, workshop, seminar, etc.
Next Chapter promotes both local and overseas speakers and already has some best- selling authors from Harper Collins, including Robin Sharma (The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari), Dr. John Grey (Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus), Dan Ariely (Predictably Irrational), Jeffrey Kluger (Simplexity) and a couple more on board.
It is totally risk-free and you determine the rate you want to charge. Next Chapter will handle contracting and logistics with the client and keeps 25% as their commission in case of a successful engagement.
To learn more about Next Chapter's Speakers Bureau, read their FAQ's (it's still a draft version) by visiting http://www.coachinghk.org/faq_nextchapter.pdf
If you want to get registered with Next Chapter as one of their speakers, download the registration form from http://www.coachinghk.org/speaker_registration_form.doc
Note: Next Chapter reserves the right to accept or deny any application. They typically want to meet a potential speaker first before accepting her/him into their database.
