Celia Delaney – Promoting Your Business Through Speaking

 

Celia Delaney runs SpeakingSuccess, a company that enables business owners, senior managers and their teams to promote their business through speaking.

It’s been an interesting journey so far: Celia read Psychology at Oxford University, then joined Unilever’s graduate scheme and went on to be HR Director of one of their factory sites. She then trained as an actress and worked in stage & television for 5 years, before deciding to use all of her skills – psychology, HR and performance – in setting up her own business in 2007.

Now she is a sought-after speaker and trainer, and frequently speaks on communication skills and personal impact at conferences, member associations and universities.

She is the creator of the iPresent series – a suite of courses and products that take the individual through all the skills needed to achieve Speaking Success, such as how to write sales talks; the secrets of great delivery; and, crucially, how to promote, sell and influence when speaking. She runs in-house workshops from the iPresent series anywhere in the world.

Workshops include:

  • SOS! Introduction to Selling on Stage (or Help! I need more clients)
  • Stand up, Stand Out – How to be a more engaging speaker
  • Creating the WOW Factor – personal impact workshop

And others from the iPresent Series.

Promote your business through speaking’ with Celia Delaney, Creator of SpeakingSuccess.

 

In this entertaining 1-hr session, Celia outlines how to:

  • Make the most of speaking opportunities to build your profile and win more clients
  • Introducing the 5 Ps: 5 essential elements in Promoting your Business Through Speaking
  • Understand how to incorporate speaking into your marketing mix
  • What does it take to speak?
  • How have other people used it to get results in their business?
  • Does passion come into it and if so, how?

 

Celia also coaches people privately in Exeter & London. This often involves helping clients to rewrite their talks into effective sales presentations as well as showing them how to create a great learning experience for their audiences.

Not content with speaking and training, she is also a jazz singer, and is working on her first book, entitled ‘The Secrets of Speaking Success.’ She is married and lives in Devon.

Rob Geraghty and Claire Bannister - Being a Totally Organised Trainer

When you set up your training business you can quickly find that you have lots of admin and paperwork to do. From preparing materials, through to big matters like VAT and tax returns. Often you find that you’re doing things that you don’t want to be doing. You’ll be working in your business rather than on your business. Working with an experienced PA can help you get these things done so that you can focus on delivering training to your clients and earning money.

 

In this session Rob & Claire will cover how to:

  • Get paid faster by your clients and have a clear view of your pipeline of upcoming business
  • Be in control of your tax return and VAT (and all things financial)
  • Save time by using technology to save you from having to prepare over and over again
  • Keep track of what needs to be done so that you can have a mind clear to be creative
  • Work with a PA even though you don’t see each other

Rob Geraghty runs The Wow Factor and helps people to design and delivery great presentations and workshops. He previously worked for Accenture and Vodafone and has been running The Wow Factor for 5 years. Clients include Apple, Bank of America, Simplyhealth and O2.

Claire Bannister is a Virtual PA who specialises in supporting one-man training companies. Claire helps trainers by doing their administration and paperwork for them so that they can focus on what they are good at: delivering training.
