Cheewa James
“Build on Your Own Uniqueness: From Marketing to Presentation: Be Different!”
- Increase bookings! Exploit your distinct individuality: experiences, talents, ethnicity, heritage or challenges you’ve overcome.
- Design catchy marketing materials and products.
- Learn techniques to enhance presentation skills and turn mundane presentations into messages with impact and soul.
- Create an atmosphere of inclusiveness and respect for all people regardless of their differences.
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.
Voice of Experience: Joe Contrera
One Question That Will Change Your Business Forever
We all come into the speaking business with big dreams and big aspirations. Some of start with just a toe-in- the-water and some of us come in like a canon ball. Funny thing is that we usually leave the same way we came in. Whether you’ve been in the business for 2 months or 2 decades you must constantly ask yourself just 1 question 500 different ways. What’s the question? That’s not it, but if you want to find out, show up on Saturday January 13th and you’ll learn “The One Question That Will Change Your Business Forever.”

The Magic of Mastermind Groups
It has always been said that two heads are better than one. When it comes to the unique challenges we face in the speaking business, this statement is especially true. That’s why Mastermind Groups work so well for people in our industry. Having other people around that can help you brainstorm and problem-solve your current issues, hold you accountable to your goals and provide you with the support you need to survive in this whacky business is essential for success. That’s exactly what Mastermind Groups can do for you. Come learn:
- What is a Mastermind Group?
- How can it help you?
- How do you start one?
- AND SO MUCH MORE
