 How to Create a Business Based on Your Own Uniqueness
with Cheewa James
Increase bookings! Exploit your distinct individuality: experiences, talents, ethnicity, heritage or challenges you've overcome.
Create catchy marketing materials and products.
Learn techniques for turning mundane presentations into messages with impact and soul.
Cheewa James has built a career based on her Native American background. She is enrolled with the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma. She will show her marketing materials and products and present a small part of her keynote to demonstrate how a unique approach, Native American thinking and stories, in her case, are woven in. Cheewa will show materials and product from seven other NSA speakers from around the country and talk about how they have incorporated uniqueness into their speaking businesses.
Cheewa presents a strong emphasis on the use of stories and shows techniques to develop the tons of them you should be using. Cheewa will also address ways that each individual speaker in the audience can be more aware of diversity and practice inclusiveness as they speak.
Even for the advanced speaker, this is a chance to freshen material, develop new approaches and add some punch.
