Have you been looking to take your speaking career to the next plateau - or to take the first steps towards that speaking career?

After speaking with numerous talented professionals looking to either break into the world of speaking or step up their game by honing their skills, I have decided to offer an academy model to work with emerging and current speakers.

This is the first time I have offered a workshop of this magnitude, and my thinking behind the concept is not only will I be able to personalize coaching to each individual’s needs, but all participants will have the opportunity to learn from one another.

Emerging Speakers Academy will be held over the course of 2 1/2 days from

September 24-26, 2010

This first workshop is limited to 15 people to allow for a more “personal touch.” Some of the benefits include:

• 3 days focused on taking your career to the next plateau
• Input from various NSA professionals during the weekend - LIVE!
• 6 month unlimited coaching via email (limited telephone consulting as well)
• You will leave the weekend with a new Mastermind Group with which you will be expected to meet over the ensuing 6 months and to whom you will be accountable

Through a comprehensive survey and interview process with all prospective attendees, I will determine exactly what will help each person skyrocket their careers! You can be certain we will cover what you NEED to cover over the weekend. (The Emerging Speakers Academy is NOT for everyone, and we can determine if it is for you through a preliminary conversation.)

Remember, this workshop is limited to 15 people. I don’t know when (or IF) I will ever offer this again, so register NOW!

“I have been blessed to have been coached and guided by Jeff for the past 3 years. Because of Jeff Tobe, my book has been published and I was able to quit my “day job” to speak full time and live my dream. Jeff doesn’t work with emerging speakers because he HAS to; he works with them out of a passion to see others succeed and to give back to his profession.”
