What Type of Company is Right for You?

When choosing the company you are going to work for or want as a client, you have to keep in mind the culture of it. This is the most overlooked aspect of job selection or client selection. This is the main reason many employees with good paying jobs have given up their job for another similar one with less financial advantages and companies disassociate themselves in order to align with better people and professionalism.

The point of the using relational culture to find work or new clients is that it works to identify their characteristics, forms and the members that generate them. From here, everyone can build their own compartmental model that can help them perform as good as possible in the company. This model can presume anything, from changing the perception over work to leaving the company whose values conflict with personal values.

In a company there can coexist, in a determinant relationship, two relational culture levels.

The visible level, determined by:

-       The physic products of the company (building, offices, furniture, uniform, cars) for the personnel

-       Verbal products (way of speaking). This element belongs t o each company and through them there can be speculated affirmations regarding the value of the company.

-       Compartmental products – rituals and ceremonies whose existence permits the company to show its identity, offering to all the employees the sensation of belonging to the group.

The invisible level – is given by the values, the capacities, the knowledge, motivation and satisfaction of every employee of the firm.

If we go from the criteria of efficiency, the relational and organizational culture can be divided in:

Relational culture of progress: the personnel of the firm is able to achieve purposes in a short time, values of the employees are linked as: action, change, development. It can exist in two forms: democratic or dictatorial.

Relational culture of regress: personnel values tend to make them work less and less. This goes especially to over-centralized, state organizations. Employees take chances because the boss wants to, without being aware of the necessity for that specific chance. They will continue working just like before, only now a new manner would be asked for, so they will continue working badly, with poor results.

Keep the culture of a company in mind before applying to either be an employee or take them on as a client. It is for this reason Informational Interviews should always be implemented prior to soliciting a potential company for business or work.

Tips on Hosting Seminars & Free Publicity

If you are an expert in your field or possess certain knowledge that others may be interested in learning, then you may find great success in hosting public seminars. In this scenario, you would be the speaker and anyone attending your seminars would do so in exchange for a fee. A few examples of popular seminars include writing workshops, learning how to make money online, investing strategies and real estate. However, topics are limited only by the imagination of the speaker. If there is information to be learned that could be beneficial to others, chances are good that someone would be interested in attending a workshop on the subject.

Regardless of whether you are speaking about becoming a published writer or you have a proven method of getting rich on the internet, hosting seminars is a terrific career if you like to travel and enjoy speaking in front of a crowd.

The first step to scheduling seminars is to choose a location. In the beginning, a small facility will be sufficient for accommodating listeners and should have ample space for 50-100 people. As for ticket prices, the cost of seminars vary depending on the experience of the speaker and the information provided. A good starting point would be $20.00 per ticket and, as you gain experience and recognition, you can increase the cost. If at all possible, plan your seminars up to one year in advance in order to allow for promotion and marketing.

When it comes to any business, including one that entails the hosting of seminars and public speaking the single most important factor is advertising. Before anyone can know that your new business exists, they have to hear about it. The best way to announce upcoming seminars is through a press release. Written as a one page news announcement, a press release is distributed to local newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations. In addition to sending a press release, most local radio stations would likely be willing to distribute several promotional tickets to your upcoming seminar as part of a radio giveaway. This will give the radio station some additional free contests to offer listeners and your upcoming seminars a substantial amount of free publicity. In exchange for your granting the radio station several free tickets, they would agree to mention the date, time and location of your seminar.

Whether you are thinking about hosting a seminar as a new full-time career or simply as a way to earn some extra cash on the side, you may find it to be a very rewarding opportunity to share your knowledge with others.

Where to Find Professional Speaking Jobs

You've got your engine running and you're ready to get out there and find some professional speaking engagements.  The only problem is that you haven't got a clue as to where you can find jobs!

One of the first steps as you launch your professional speaking career is to get good at what you do.  You'll find that you'll need to speak for free.  Gain experience and build your client database.  In doing so, you'll be able to go after higher paying jobs as you can demonstrate your professionalism, credibility as a speaker and your ability to draw large crowds.

1.  There are a number of places that hire professional speakers and many of them are in your neighborhoods.  Places like universities, colleges, your local Toastmasters organization, speaker bureaus, non-profit organizations, businesses, and libraries are just a few of the places that have a need for professional speakers.  Make contacts with people in these organizations and offer your services.

1. You can also do an online search for the keyword term "calls for speakers" or "speakers wanted".  You'll obtain a listing of organizations and meetings that are requesting professional speakers.

1. Search speaker's forums for paid jobs.  While this place does not have a lot of paid jobs, you might be able to find one that suits your niche.

1.  Review conference schedules of various associations related to your topic.  Many associations hold annual conferences and they will post a call for speakers.  This call will be placed about 6 - 8 months in advance of the speaking engagement.

1. Work as a trainer with training companies.  Places like Fred Pryor hires contract speakers for many different topics.  This is a paid job that requires travel and often times, a hectic schedule, but the flip side is that paid speakers can make over $75,000 annually.

1. Research the NTPA (National Trade and Professional Associations) Directory.  You can purchase it for about $150.  Issued in February each year, it gives you the information you'll need to begin making contacts in the association market.

1. Research the meeting planner's directory.  The Directory of Association Meeting Planners costs $550 and is available every March in a CD format.  There is another directory called the Directory of Corporate Meeting Planners.  This second directory costs approximately $450 and is available every March in a hard copy format.

1. Network with peers and potential clients in your industry.  Word of mouth referrals are by far the most popular way that meeting planners find speakers for their events.  With that in mind, it'll definitely be worth your time to network!

These are places where you can find jobs, however, you will need to also put together a promotional kit.  Start with a simple letter and build your promotional kit up.  You'll also have to develop a marketing strategy to build and maintain a potential client listing.  Using this listing, you can use direct mail or make phone calls to promote yourself as a professional speaker for hire.  Now that you know where to look, you'll be able to start going after speaking engagements and gaining experience!
