Don’t show anything but your best!

At a recent Georgia NSA (National Speakers Association) meeting the members had the incredible honor of hearing Mark Scharenbroich.

Mark is one of America’s top presenters. His speech before our group was simply a master class in connecting with your audience, using humor and delivering a powerful message in a clear, moving and fun way.

But it was during a casual video critique session that he said something that all speakers should take to heart these days: “You live and die by your videos. Never show anything but your best.”

Marks’ site NiceBike.com boasts 4 or 5 brilliant videos showing him at his very best (here and here). They are professionally crafted and edited and they are elegantly presented within the site. It is a perfect example of how important video is to today’s professional speaker and how a real pro gets it done. As speakers, showcasing our talent with well-done professional quality video is our chance to “knock one out of the park.” Often before we even get to see or talk to a potential client.

Don’t show anything but your best! Nice bike, Mark!
