| What is a PSF Certified Speaker?
The PSF Certified Speaker designation is becoming recognized as the preferred
choice for many speaking professionals when it comes to certification
programming, professionalism and value.
Programming:
Our programming helps professional
speakers save time and money. Because all our programs
focus on the 3 Core Competencies
of Professional Speaking our members don’t waste
time with training programs that offer little value. Our
speakers want the best training and don’t have time
to waste. Because our Board of Directors are all professional
speakers themselves they know the difference between quality
learning vs. status quo guidelines that have become outdated
and obsolete. Our programming is timely, innovative and
offers a sense of immediacy no other programs offer.
Professionalism:
Being professional equates to offering
programming, training and certification that helps our
speakers be more effective
and earn more money. Our marketing and promotion resources,
made available through our monthly continued education
programs, have raised the bar in the speaking industry
to new heights! If there is a newer, more effective, and
more efficient marketing tool that can help our members
they’ll find it first with the Professional Speakers
Federation.
Value:
Our membership dues are nearly 50% cheaper than our competition
and our monthly continuing education programming is included
in the cost of membership. Our completion will charge their
members additional fees for this service. Your yearly fee
includes access to our newsletter (digital), our monthly
continuing education program and the rights to certain
PSF marketing materials that can be used in your ongoing
marketing effects.
Certification:
PSF’s certified speakers have
successfully completed a year long coaching program that has been designed to help any speaker, at any
level, improve their communication skills and achieve a level of confidence and competence to help them reach all their speaking goals!
As speakers go through the year long process of becoming
certified, they are required to:
• Successfully
complete the PSF’s Speech Mastery Course (online version)
• Successfully
complete the PSF’s Continuing Education
Program for no less one year
• Successfully complete our Speech Coach Training Program which include both one-on-one coaching, and group coaching
with a Certified Speech Coach
