SELF-PUBLISH YOUR BOOK ─ OR GO MAINSTREAM?
Which option is best for you?

You're writing a book (or you'd like to write one), but should you self-publish or pitch your idea to a mainstream publisher? What to do? If you self-publish, you pay the bill; if you go mainstream, you'll need a book proposal (if your work is non-fiction) and some savvy about how to play the publishing game like a pro. Which option is faster? Which is more profitable? And if you go mainstream and query agents and editors, how do you avoid the mistakes many first-time writers make?

This talk shows you how to:  

•    Decide if you should self-publish or go mainstream
•    Pitch your idea to literary agents and/or editors at publishing houses
•    Play the publishing game like a pro ─ even if you're a first-time writer
•    Develop a step-by-step game-plan for getting your book into print in the way that works best for you

SPEAKERS CRUISE FREE: Trade Your Talents For Free Luxury Cruises

You will discover how you can qualify for a lifetime of free luxury cruises. Here's the fun thing - ANYONE can do it. You don't need to be on the professional speaking circuit, in fact these cruise ship bookings can be arranged so you do very little stand up speaking. All you need is a passion for sharing an interesting topic, or in the case of arts and crafts, lead people in creating a project.

Daniel says "The deal is simple: you furnish the cruise lines three or four 1-hour lectures on subjects you love and they give you a free cruise for yourself and a companion. Being an approved cruise enrichment lecturer is the greatest gig on the seven seas. The best part is that lectures are usually scheduled during at-sea days, so you'll have every port day totally free to explore."
 
There great benefits to cruise speaking that include:

•    Free cruises for yourself and traveling companion
•    Cruise as passenger not a crew member so you get every passenger perk
•   Approved once on a cruise line, approved for a lifetime
•   Onboard status as a mini-celebrity
•   Sell your books and other information products onboard
•   Get paid shore side bookings from your cruise gigs
•   Lead generation and list building for your shore side business

Back in 2002, quite by accident, Daniel discovered the niche of cruising free in exchange for delivering onboard presentations. Since that time he has traveled the world as a cruise speaker having an absolute blast the whole time.

Friends and associates began to ask him how he was able to cruise so frequently. When he revealed his methods the "Show me how to do it…" and "Can you teach me…" requests came flooding in. The result: he wrote his hugely successful how-to program "Speak on Cruise Ships" at learn more

THE SECRET OF SPEAKINGJackB2

Client: "Hey Coach, they loved it, I wowed 'em man!  I got all 5's on my evaluation sheets."

Jack: "Sorry buddy, you blew it! You let them off the hook. If you didn't tick somebody off, then you just took them round in circles."

Here’s the burning question beneath every kind of presentation (regardless of genre, format, audience): did it get the results intended? Did people buy? Come aboard? Take a step to change their lives?
 
You can get structured, branded, media trained. You can have exciting, award-winning promotional materials, you can have a marketing strategy that offers the world gift-wrapped. You can be as comfortable in front of an audience as you are in front of a mirror, you can look us in the eye, make a profound and probing connection. Did you get intended results?

In The Secret of Speaking, maverick speakers’ trainer Jack Barnard will take us to the heart of the matter. Jack has a deep and diverse background in the development of the human potential, and he proposes that the secret of genuine success in front of an audience is intuitive — and invisible.

All audience members have resistance of one kind or another.  You will learn:
•   How to dissolve the resistance in the room
•   How to thoroughly prepare for any kind of speaking engagement
•  Why authenticity is more important than credentials
•  Why the speaking/presentation is a profound spiritual experience
•  The down-and-delightful secret of speaking

Jack Barnard works with speakers, authors and entrepreneurs, both one-on-one and in groups. His original method emphasizes the uniqueness of the individual, focusing on the permission to bring forth one's distinctive style.

SMALL TALK

“If you can’t excite me in 45 seconds,
I’m not interested in hearing you for 45 minutes.”
- Jack Barnard

It’s one thing to knock us dead in a 45-minute keynote speech, it’s quite another to knock us alive in 45 seconds...or 5 minutes...or 15 minutes.

No matter what your subject, whether you’re speaking to motivate your audiences to greatness, inspiring them to buy your book or product, or enrolling them in your cause... it is critical that you can get the job done — no matter how much (or how little) time you’re given.

The Big Four — this is the quartet of questions to be asked about every speaking engagement: 1) Who is the audience? 2) What do you want for them? 3) What do you want for you? 4) How much time do you have?

Jack and a handful of his cuter clients will playfully demonstrate how to effectively present a shorter talk — from a thirty-second round robin to a twenty-minute mini-talk — and effectively satisfy the Big Four questions.

You will learn:
• The singular value of super-structure
• The critical difference between memorizing and familiarizing your material
• How to stack your information in the Power Pyramid — allowing you to give it to us in a clear, cogent and invitational manner
• How to integrate vital points with demonstrative stories and evocative audience involvers
how to flat-out guarantee that you will get what you want

STORYTELLING

Every Great Speaker is a Great Storyteller

“Once upon a time the prince met the princess. But she was having a bad hair day, and he was interested in her brother, so they both lived somewhat happily ever after, but not with each other.”

Jacknsa1We live in a storytelling culture. Our movies are two-hour stories, our sitcoms twenty-two minute stories, our songs three-minute stories, our commercials one-minute and thirty-second stories. We the people are so used to absorbing through stories that when we don’t get them, the medicine doesn’t go down as sweetly.

All the great teachers — Jesus included — were great storytellers. Storytelling is an art. As a speaker you can tell us the point you are trying to make and we may understand it, but we get meaning through stories.

Give me information...it’s in my head
Tell me a story...it’s in my heart
Jack Barnard

In this breakout, Jack will demonstrate in full color all the ins and outs of speakers’ storytelling.

•  Selecting stories that fit the audience...
•  Developing your personal style...
•  Choosing dynamic openings...
•  Using sensorial language...
•  Creating magic moments...
•  Rediscovering the power of first person present...here now, here now, here now...
