Celebrity Speakers
Today's Feature Speaker
Ok your having some sort of event and your thinking about hiring a guest speaker.
|
You don't want it to be too stuffy or business like so you decide
you would like some sort of celebrity speaker. Now what exactly is a celebrity speaker? What makes someone a celebrity? |
Quick Find: |
Here are a few thoughts:
- my neighbor is in the Guinness book of records
- a woman that lives on the next block won a silver medal in the 1984 Olympics
- my old roommate is a DJ for one of the popular radio stations in town
- my cousin is friends with a girl that is dating the anchorman from our local TV news station
- I once met the guy from the television show Will and Grace
- my best friend went to school with a guy who has played in the NHL for 15 years
- my mother is a published author
- I partied with Kid Rock in a club in Detroit
- and I nor anyone I know personally has ever met or even seen Harrison Ford in person
So what exactly is a celebrity
Well I guess it's all relative. To the audience that is.
I'm sure if you are from some town in the Midwest of America with a population of say 12. Then maybe the guy whose in Guinness would be a celebrity. On the other hand to impress a crowd of multi millionaires at some fancy ballroom in Manhattan you might need to bring in the ever elusive Mr. Harrison Ford.
So before you start promoting yourself as a celebrity speaker or before you try to impress your audience with a so called celebrity speaker. Just remember as every great speaker is already aware of
Always know your audience!
