Talent Development Consulting
As a member of the executive management team of one of America's premier speaker agencies, Royce Carlton, now CAA, for over 35 years I developed the public profiles of many of the speakers on our roster: Daniel Goleman, Joan Rivers, Anna Deavere Smith, Jon Meacham, Fareed Zakaria, Anthony Bourdain and TED All-Star Helen Fisher to name a few.
I am an expert at converting great ideas into great public speeches and presentations. I am excited to bring my expertise in creative collaboration to Speaker Agencies, Literary Agencies, and Public Relations firms.
As a speaker consultant, I am available, as needed, to support your agents and staff in working with your clients to hone their ideas and profiles so they can retain their intellectual integrity while being accessible to the broadest audiences worldwide. If you are working with a new speaker, expert, or author who has never translated their ideas into the public conversation, I can work one-on-one with your talent to bring clarity to their messaging and formulate the content you wish to see delivered in an intriguing, thought provoking style.
Ways I can help with talent development:
Work directly with your talent to bring clarity and impact to their messaging
Liaison with your staff and client to formulate the content you need delivered
Consult with talent and staff to solidify your client’s profile and target audience
Refresh and reframe seasoned speakers’ ideas and/or presentations to ensure that they are current and relevant to today’s climate
Use Intellectual Architecture ®, my signature system for speakers, to develop their content for any occasion
Brainstorm with your talent or executives to expand their projects to have a wider reach while also developing deeper content
