Client service agreements are also known as general service agreements, the scope of work agreements, or statement of work agreements. Sometimes they’re known as, “This is my contract for catering.” Or, “Here is my contract for photographing your wedding.” Whatever you do, you need a client service agreement. Not only will it help establish expectations and scope of work, it will detail how your client must pay you, when they must pay you, and how (if they’re able to) cancel or seek a refund. I believe every single business needs a written client service agreement. Thus, I decided to dedicate a whole course to discussing them.

Intuitive Speaking is an interactive, experiential public speaking event that will give you lots of opportunities to practice and play.

You’ll have the opportunity to speak in group settings as well as ON STAGE (if you choose). Plus, you’ll watch your colleagues and new friends make huge transformations in their speaking, too.

Either way, this is not merely about KNOWING, but learning through SEEING and DOING and BEING.

At Intuitive Speaking LIVE, you’ll learn how to:

• be irresistible and magnetic on stage, without trying to be different, clever, or forcing yourself to use popular scripts or structures that don’t work for you

• say goodbye to unnecessary stress and second-guessing whether you are standing up at a networking meeting or preparing for the biggest speaking opportunity of your life

• thrive in any speaking setting, whether you are presenting online or offline, doing keynotes, workshops, online courses, or live streaming

• be the kind of speaker who builds a reputation and word-of-mouth buzz

• allow the message that wants and needs to be shared to flow through you, effortlessly

Would you LOVE to attract more (or all) of your clients from speaking? Would you love your speaking to be magnetic and effortless? Then this event is for YOU.
