In the world of image consulting, you will also come across many image consultants who also specialise in the area of speaking engagements.  Image consultants are in huge demand to present to professional organizations and associations, and with the notion of working smarter, not harder, speaking is growing in popularity.

One thing you need to know is that as an image consultant, you are a business person as well.  And as a business person, it is smart to leverage your time.  It is always great to put yourself in a position to earn more money as opposed to less – and speaking engagements are perfect for this!

You may charge $250 for a two hour one-on-one consultation, however, if you speak for two hours to 20 people and they are each paying $50 to hear you speak, that is $1000 for that two hours.

This is what working smarter and not harder is all about – and why many image consultants do speaking engagements as part of their offering.

If you are a naturally bubbly and outgoing person, speaking engagements will be of great interest to you as a prospective image consultant, however if you are not, it may seem more challenging.

This said though, you can complete workshops and courses with AICI Melbourne that will help you develop your skills and become a great speaker!  After all, a desire to do this is all you need to get on course and on your way!
