You simply don’t have expendable hours to perform due diligence to investigate the quality of a potential speaker. So, why not let the National Speakers Association (NSA) save you a ton of time? NSA has awarded the international designation, Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP), by vetting speakers through a very rigorous evaluation process.
​
​A CSP meets the competencies of:
  • Eloquence: The art of speaking and the use of powerful and persuasive presentations.
  • Expertise: Knowledge, skills and experience in a specific area.
  • Enterprise: The purposeful undertaking of a successful speaking business venture.
  • Ethics: The standards governing the conduct of those in the speaking profession.

To earn the CSP designation, a speaker is required to:
  • Perform and document hundreds of presentations
  • Show annual income earnings of $50,000+ for a minimum of five years
  • Receive excellent ratings on performance evaluations from past clients and fellow CSPs
  • Take part in ongoing education
  • Maintain and renew their designation every 5 years

​Now that you have your criteria of excellence covered... what about a topic?

  • ​There is nothing more universal than aging.  
  • There are few things more important than one’s health.
  • There is nothing scarier than losing one’s memory.
