What should you include in a motivational speaking portfolio?

A motivational speaking portfolio is a collection of materials that showcase your skills, experience, and achievements as a speaker. It can help you land more speaking gigs, attract more clients, and build your credibility and reputation. But what should you include in your portfolio to make it stand out and impress your potential employers? Here are some essential elements to consider:

1 Your bio

Your bio is a brief introduction of who you are, what you do, and why you are qualified to speak on your topic. It should highlight your background, expertise, values, and personality. It should also include your contact information and a professional photo of yourself. Your bio should be concise, engaging, and tailored to your target audience.

They should also be relevant, timely, and valuable to your audience. You should have at least three topics that you can speak on with confidence and authority. For each topic, you should provide a title, a summary, and a list of key points or takeaways.

It should also specify any limitations, requirements, or expectations that you have. You should have a flexible and adaptable availability that can accommodate different opportunities and scenarios.

Um portfólio de palestras motivacionais deve incluir uma breve introdução sobre você, destacando suas credenciais e experiência. Inclua tópicos abordados em suas palestras, depoimentos de clientes satisfeitos, e, se possível, estatísticas que demonstrem impacto positivo. Também é útil fornecer informações sobre eventos anteriores onde você palestrou e qualquer prêmio ou reconhecimento recebido. Não se esqueça de adicionar informações de contato para facilitar o contato para futuras oportunidades.

En mi caso, la viral participación en "Aprendemos Juntos" del BBVA es la mejor tarjeta de presentación que puedo tener, además de estar en la mejor agencia: Helpers Speakers. Si participas en un TEDx o similar, como es mi caso, el aval como orador motivacional ya lo tienes casi ganado.
