¡Hey, great people! I have some very exciting news to share with you. You see, when I was younger, I had a dream where I was on stage in front of a vast audience delivering a message of life and inspiration. And now, that's the dream I live out loud daily. I'll be honest, I've spoken in front of thousands of people before, both near and far, but this news, I believe, is a crucial step toward fulfilling that vision in an even bigger way. Fewer than 800 people have this honor, and I am now one of them. I am one of them. So what is it? As a paid professional speaker, I have officially become a Certified Speaking Professional, other known as CSP. Last summer at the National Speakers Association Influence Conference, I made a declaration to myself to achieve this certification. Joining the ranks of other speakers with the worldwide CSP designation is a tremendous honor earned through countless hours of hard work dedication, and unwavering commitment. It's not easy talking for a living, but I love it, and I'm excited to add this accomplishment to my speaking journey. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to past and current clients who trusted me with delivering impactful speaking and professional development services, and I also must recognize my NSA and BNSA family for their unwavering support. Being surrounded and supported by other professional speakers makes this accomplishment even more rewarding and fulfilling. So you may be wondering, what does this CSP designation mean for you? Well, for my current and future clients, it means expertise assurance. You can trust my proficiency in delivering quality services. It means proven excellence. I've undergone rigorous training to ensure exceptional results for you. It also means tailored solutions. Expect customized solutions to meet your unique needs. It also means enhanced credibility. My CSP credential positions me as a trusted authority, and then it also means long-term value. You see, our collaboration promises ongoing professional development. Now, this certification not only validates my expertise, but it also underscores my dedication to excellence in the speaking profession. So continue to stay in my speaking orbit, and I promise to take you on this crazy journey of mine as I continue to activate audiences one stage at a time.
