I write about faster, better ways to communicate your ideas to tough audiences - aimed at lawyers/professionals who communicate complexity. Also how to have presence when presenting.
I've seen lawyers give up too soon when using speaking at conferences to get clients...
They give up before they see results. But wait...

I learned about it last week from productivity guru Ali Abdaal, of YouTube fame. He's a former UK physician turned productivity guy. ๐ค
-> Many new podcasters never get past 3 episodes.
-> Even fewer get to 20 episodes.
-> If you post 21 episodes - you'll be in the top 1% of podcasts worldwide
So close...! Lawyers (and the rest of us) try these ideas to keep speaking just a bit longer:

โข What is the hottest topic you can speak to?
โข Titles: 5 ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ด... or 7 ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฏ๐ด ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต... or 5 ๐๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ด...
You CAN create actionable titles. You'll stand out and get a better crowd.

โข Use practical examples that show your recent expertise -> aimed at the clients you want who are likely attending the conference
โข Clients love lawyers who offer actionable, practical advice, without legalese

โข Offer something tangible you can send later (if they give you their card afterwards)
โข Have a QR code or link on a slide to give them a checklist or other resource
โข Mention you'll hang around to answer any follow up questions individually
