Speaker Coaching
Almost daily we talk with speakers who want to reach a larger audience with their speaking and writing ministries. Yet, these individuals often lack the clear direction, resources, or business infrastructure to do so.
Many times, it’s their attitude and words that defeat them before they even begin. They say things like,"I can’t afford to…", "I don’t know where to…", "I don’t know how to…", " I’m technology challenged!” or "I can’t do it all."

Each of these people wants to be the best they can. They want to reach their full potential and fulfill their God-given destinies for their lives, their businesses and their ministries. However, they feel stuck, trapped, or exhausted from years of trying and without getting too much farther along in the journey. The tasks, knowledge, and manpower to run a successful speaking and writing ministry seem bigger than they imagined.
How can they know it all, do it all and still have a somewhat balanced life? The time, energy and resources seem to be more than they have to give…or so they think.
Does this sound like you, or someone you know?
Then it’s time to find someone who knows the industry and who can help you figure out a strategy and then start working a plan. It is doable! It’s within your reach!
We can help give you the jumpstart your ministry needs. We can help you accomplish and fulfill the dreams God has given you—sharing your message to those who need hope and healing.
But don’t just take it from us. Hear it directly from people who are speakers, singers and writers…just like you. Individuals who, having faced the same challenges head-on, have now moved up to a new level.
“Through our sessions, I have been encouraged to develop a step-by-step plan to strengthen the business side of my ministry and increase my exposure to event planners. I have learned how to develop better marketing skills and have been challenged to more clearly define my ministry and business purpose.”
~ Carole Brewer, Speaker & Singer |
“Knowing the gap between where I was and where I needed to go as an inspirational speaker and then not having a clear direction in how to do so, I needed help! In the past year working with Christian Speaker Servcies as my coach, I was encouraged to develop and write down my speaking ministry’s mission statement, vision plan, and 1-7 year goals. I learned how to change my mind set from doing things in an amateur way to being a true professional. From their experience working with hundreds of speakers, we focused on the area of what makes me and my message unique–what makes me different from all the other speakers. Once I was able to verbalize this, I hired a graphic designer to help develop an overall brand for my web site and promotional materials that truly represent me. With a fresh look and renewed confidence, I started making media connections. They kept encouraging me and discussing options as to where to find more opportunities. I leave each session with focus, action items and a feeling that I really can do this. Their coaching has been invaluable and critical in helping me get to where I am at today.” |
"I had resisted having a coach, pushing myself until I was truly overwhelmed and all of my best efforts were out of reach. I thought I’d try three sessions. That was many months ago. Now that I’m functioning with achievable goals and a plan, I can’t imagine not having CSS—guiding, questioning, motivating, and encouraging me. Being a speaker and/or author can be isolating. It can be difficult to remain motivated. It’s a puzzlement knowing how to put the pieces together. CSS is a virtual storehouse of knowledge. They can assemble the puzzle. They share freely and enthusiastically. CSS has become the wind beneath my wings." ~ Gail Showalter, Speaker, Author and Certified Personality Trainer |
Here are just a few of the areas we will discuss during our sessions together, areas that can move you quickly to where you want to be:

Are you ready for the next step? Are you ready to move beyond the ranks of the many to a place only a few are willing to put in the investment and effort to find?
Quite honestly, each of the above coaching clients started our first sessions excited about their futures, yet somewhat dragging their feet. As we talked about the big picture for their ministry, it often seemed overwhelming to them. Still they continued doing the things we discussed in each of our sessions. In no time at all, they had truly found their purpose and passion. They started implementing new technology and action plans that distinguish them from the thousands of other speakers in the industry. They have now truly risen to a new level of professionalism, as well as taking ownership of their dream. We no longer hear the litany of excuses why they can’t be where they have always wanted to be. We enjoy hearing the reports of what they have accomplished since our last session. Watching someone really “get it–who they are, what their purpose is, and what direction to take–is exciting, amazing and energizing to me…and to them!
Although each person and each speaker's ministry/business is unique. However, it's been my experience that there are many similarities in what it takes to be successful. Most of these steps, resources or technology updates are free or very inexpensive. When you don’t know where to find these things, when to implement them or how to avoid costly mistakes, you find yourself wasting your limited and valuable time and funds.
That’s where weI come in. We have a proven track record in the areas of computer technology, marketing, training, speaking, writing, managing and booking Christian communicators. We are always looking for other experts in many areas of the industry with which to partner in helping these communicators be the best they can be.
As your private speaker business coach, we help you understand and be able to verbalize your passion and purpose. I’m also here to help you find the ways to bring order and a focused plan to your business.
If all you do is speak and write, you had better be REALLY good at both or you’ll probably starve to death.
We are not trying to dash anyone’s dreams against the rocks; we're simply trying to make a point that in today’s economy there are many avenues available for ancillary products to help raise funds for our ministries. So often speakers and writers are sitting on a goldmine and don’t even realize it!
When your business is capable of bringing in more financial resources, you can reach more people through ministry. When you know what you are about—why you are the person to deliver the message God has given you—event planners will be able to see the difference between you and the thousands of other speaker choices for their events. Finally, your future decisions will be in alignment with your goals, helping you to make the most of every opportunity.
We invite you to join with those who have made this transition from where they were to where they always wanted to be. We invite you to take this opportunity to get the help you need for your ministry and business.
Coaching time is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't miss out on the opportunity to develop your dreams and reach your full potential!
If you've dreamed of taking your speaking career to the next level do what many striving professionals do to enhance their career--hire a private coach. You deserve it!
We will discuss where you currently are with your speaking career and where you would like to be. And most importantly, we will develop specific action steps on how to get you there. You will leave each session with realistic goals and action items to complete before the next session.
Before your coaching sessions begin, you will complete a brief Career Assessment Form to help determine where you are and what your goals are. This form must be completed and returned before the first session is scheduled. Once the appointment is set, you will make the call for each of your sessions. (The coaching client will call CSS at the scheduled time.)

Think of these Four Elements (Earth, Water, Wind and Fire) in their natural state. What comes to mind when you think of each one? Solid, Predictable. Go with the flow, seeks the lowest place. Always moving, loves to see things in motion. Hot, all-consuming. See how easy this is. You get it already. That is why The Path Elements Profile is such a remarkable communication tool. People just get it that quickly. It is fun, and research-based at the same time. The Science behind this tool correlates with the fact that this profile is 90% accurate, 90% of the time, for 90% of the population. We believe those to be really good predictors of behavior and so we stepped forward to create one of the best communication tools out there. Go ahead and say it. "You have taken them all, right?" Well we find that when we work with teams and individuals that tell us this very same thing, that they have a difficult time remembering their score, type, color, or letter.... was that LMNQ??? We think you won't forget this one. You can't. It is just so intuitively simple, sound and sticky that you will find so many reasons to just keep using the Elements everyday. If you don't try it for yourself, give it to someone who needs a gift from you or to that high school or college grad that is trying to figure out 'who they are.' The Elements of Success will give immediate clarity to anyone who completes it. Once you complete the online assessment you will immediately be able to print a 13 page report that is packed full of details about you. After you have read your report come back here to the site and give us your comments. We would love to hear from you and get your perspective as well. Have fun! The Elements are engineered for it! |

In a world in which we are daily forced to make decisions that lead us either closer to or further from our goals, no tool is as valuable in providing direction as a mission statement--a brief, succinct, and focused statement of purpose that can be used to initiate, evaluate, and refine all of life's activities. A carefully thought out mission statement acts as both a harness and a sword--harnessing you to what is true about your life, and cutting away all that is false. Individuals and companies have recently been learning what history has demonstrated all along--that people or groups with carefully defined missions have always led and surpassed those who have none. Yet the process of outlining that mission statement has been, up to now, an arduous one that all too few have committed the time, energy, and resources to undertake. 'I am compelled to tell you how much I have been touched by your books Jesus, CEO and The Path. They rank at the top with the Bible for use as my business and personal manuals. I eagerly look forward to your new book, Jesus in Blue Jeans.' - L Mullins, Concord, NC. |

Even more and even better . . . your mission statement will be so clear and focused, it is will become your immediate reference point for any decision or choice you are facing. This download consists of three exercises taken from the full workbook. |

The three most common questions in developing a personal mission are these, "Who am I?" "Where am I going?" "How do I get there?" The Path can help you figure out the answers to these questions. Some people struggle for years with what their purpose and 'reason for being' looks like. Everyone wants their life to count and impact others. Have a clearly defined reason for being is the beginning of fulfillment. Laurie Beth will guide you through one slice of The Path process by assisting you with 1) Forming a sense of mission, 2) Identifying your Core Value, and 3) Determining the Action Verbs that will guide you in stepping into your highest calling. This download will get you moving along your Path with greater clarity and emphasis on what matters most to you! You will receive an email link to download the PDF document to your computer. YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE ITEM WITIN 24 HOURS OF PLACING THIS ORDER. Once you download the document, you can print if out to complete. |
