Ges Ray – Founder, Speaking in Public
‘From Expert to Leader’. What is the user experience? How does it feel to be in that process? Where does it lead to?
If you attended the January meeting (Richard Hagen, mPowr Publishing) – or even if you didn’t! – you may be considering your ecosystem, your paradigm, your audience. Where is the fit with your business, your expertise? How do you bridge that gap from Expert to Leader?
Ges Ray – XTEND member – is in partnership with mPowr, from authoring a book to building products, so well placed to answer your questions from a ‘warts and all’ insider viewpoint.
Ges will:
• Deliver a micro workshop – ‘How do you avoid being a boring speaker?’ – at the core of his time-for-money business, building your confidence in public speaking
• Describe the process of being professionally coached to author a book on your expertise
• Demonstrate the business paradigm evolution, leading to the building of a nascent product based business
