LAV: Ditch the Pitch was such a success today! Talia Jacqueline led an amazing workshop, and the takeaways were impactful! Talia will be sending me slide information and her offer for those who could attend today, and it’s clear that we will be putting another “Ditch the Pitch” workshop on the calendar. That will be going out yet this week. Recap of what we learned today: The world is changing but human nature isn’t. In a rapidly evolving era of AI and today's digital landscape, connecting on an emotional level is the key more than ever to successful interactions when networking and prospecting. However, traditional elevator pitches often hinder rather than help us create that connection, building barriers instead of bridges. Imagine if you learned how to captivate and emotionally engage people in what you do simply by changing the way you talk about it? That’s where the “Ditch the Pitch” workshop steps in, offering a new approach to communicating your value using the skills on Conversational Intelligence. If you’re a forward-thinking professional or business owner, this hands-on workshop goes beyond improving your pitch – it replaces it entirely with a new set of conversational skills that transform the way you open doors and unlock opportunities. “Ditch the Pitch” started as a TEDx Talk and evolved into a movement centered on helping professionals master the skill of Emotional & Conversational Intelligence in the meetings & interactions that matter most. Join us to transform your approach, increase growth and deepen your impact. —- Shout out to Woodland Hills 1 Group Leader, Joe Seetoo, CFA®, CFP®, CEPA®, for introducing me to Talia. We struck gold! Shout out to Los Angeles Valley 1 Group Leader, Kristy Melton, for helping me host and getting a photo of those in the meeting with their cameras on! Lastly, I would like to recognize other Group Leaders in the meeting today: Jamie Cooperstein, Kevin Farrell, Joan Ford, Carol Glover, Mark Jaffe, Regina Korossy, CEPA®, AAMS®, CRPC®, Saja Raoof, Mark Wald, Steve Broadhead. Thank you to our amazing members who were also in attendance today too. I feel so energized knowing that we have the tools to connect our emotions into how we problem solve for ourselves and our clients!! #provisors #professionalnetworking #professionaldevelopment

🤯 ANNOUNCING THREE NEW TOURPRENEUR CONNECT CONFERENCES! We had the time of our lives at our first TourpreneurCONNECT conference last year in Seville, Spain, and feedback was simple: more more more! We loved the partnership building, workshops, experiences, unique venue, and the chance to simply connect with fellow operators and grow your businesses. If you're signed up for the newsletter, you'll see today we're announcing three new events for the coming 12 months, each with a different focus: • CONNECT:Startup — an event entirely focused on helping new businesses understand what they need to know to flourish. • CONNECT:Multi-Day — entirely focused on the unique business models of multi-day operators, or those looking to transition. • CONNECT:Profit — focused on helping you learn hands-on the new sales & marketing strategies to make your business more profitable. We keep these event small (200 people) and focused entirely on tour operators, so the learning and connections can be powerful. Signups start later today, watch this space.

Are you looking to land more speaking gigs? It all starts with a great pitch. Your pitch is your first impression—it needs to be clear, compelling, and aligned with what event organizers are looking for. Here’s a quick breakdown on how to craft a pitch that gets you booked: 1) Personalize Every Pitch Do your homework. Tailor your pitch to the specific event and audience. Mention past events or themes that resonate with your expertise. 2) Showcase Your Expertise Include a brief summary of your speaking topics, relevant achievements, and audience outcomes. Focus on what makes you the right fit. 3) Highlight Results, Not Just Credentials Organizers want impact. Share measurable outcomes, like “Helped 500 entrepreneurs scale their businesses” or “Increased team productivity by 25% with actionable insights.” 4) Keep It Clear and Concise Time is precious—don’t overwhelm them with details. Get straight to the point while still being engaging. 5) Call to Action End with a polite but confident call to action. “I’d love to discuss how I can bring value to your event—let’s connect!” Pro Tip: Always attach your speaker reel or portfolio. It gives organizers a sneak peek into your style and impact. Learn more: www.psai.in

Reflecting on the first 4 months of 2024 and looking to see what my colleagues in other businesses are doing I am led to wonder what we all get from the conferences, symposiums and gatherings we attend. Much as we are pleased to share where we have been and what we have attended I don’t see any learnings or takeaways. This poses the question do we know it all? Are the messages given just talking to the converted, or is this just a way of us looking busy in a place where we are comfortable but at the risk of not driving business growth? Last week three colleagues and I arranged one focused day of meeting clients face to face, discussing their projects, plans, and market views. We walked away with a clear understanding of our clients, their businesses and agreed next steps forward in helping them achieve their goals and hopefully Lysander increase our pipeline.

PEOPLE /// They are the key reason we attend events, do you agree? Content is important as is the experience but being able to catch up with colleagues and friends across the globe and meet new people is why we attend an in person conference. Atomicon is a conference that has a virtual or in person ticket for the same cost and both options get access to the recordings so you don’t miss a thing when there are 4 streams to choose from! If I was there for the content I could easily just watch from my bed anywhere! But for me it’s about the real connection which happens over lunch, over drinks and while having glitter painted on your face! I met some incredible people who encouraged me to launch my club (coming soon), and was able to share ideas and encourage others. And nothing beats a hug, especially from the Atomicon founders Andrew Pickering and Pete Gartland, the nicest guys in sales and marketing. Oh and maybe the food and goodies are another bonus. I won a hoodie from Planely which has come in very handy this dismal English summer! (Which we are still waiting to experience)! Don’t let the distance stop you attending this event. Already over 1000 tickets sold next year. Are you joining us? https://lnkd.in/gYEqT9r2 #conference #sales #businessgrowth #atomicon #marketing

PSA ‼️ If you are leading a conference breakout, webinar, or other event where you’ve indicated your topic will be how to XYZ, please describe, discuss and share how to XYZ. ❌ Do NOT spend the bulk of your time gatekeeping and pitching. 💎 The irony is that when you share in glorious detail how to XYZ, a number of us realize how much help we need. There’s no way we want to attempt to execute these black diamonds on our own. We are more interested in learning how you can help us. ⛔️ In contrast, when you gatekeep and pitch too heavily, it’s a turnoff. An hour talk that delivers less than 5 minutes of valuable content is a giant missed opportunity to educate, enlighten, and grow your business. Signed, Someone who has attended several recent virtual events, including one that was a HIT and one that was a giant MISS.
