Booked speakers cancel for a variety of reasons: weather, illness, flight delaysAt times, speakers can’t make the event they agreed to speak at, leaving meeting organizers in a tough spot. But you can be the hero! You’ll learn how having a presentation ready to go allows you to step in last-minute. The host will be so relieved. Plus, you'll wow the audience and impress the planner by saving their event. It's a great way to get on their radar for future speaking gigs.
This episode topic is not based on theory but experience. I’ll share two events I was asked to step in after their booked speaker was unable to make it.
