professional_communicators_summitIt’s one thing to know how to speak, give a good presentation, sing on stage and perform like a pro, but it’s a completely different animal turning that talent into career that actual makes money and pays the bills. The Summit is a workshop lead by Ken Davis teaching communicators how to make money and build a career in a great 4 step process.

I recommend any speaker or entertainer to attend this weekend of learning the business of making a living. I was blown away the first time I went through it and wish I had this knowledge when Big Tent Revival was still touring. It’s invaluable. Here’s the info below.

You Will Learn:
• Ken Davis’ proven formula for building a lasting career
• How to maximize your price
• How to accelerate the growth of your career
• How to develop effective promotional materials

The Summit Will Give You:
• Insight into crafting a presentation to fit your target market
• Tools to find the “hook” that makes your program unique
• The key to using the internet for all it’s worth
• The Secret to increasing your product sales and revenue stream by 100%
• Inside information on agencies, publishers and meeting planners

A letter from a student:
Hey Ken,
The principles I learned at the Summit continue to work over a decade later, and I use several of the key ideas and lessons on a WEEKLY basis. The value of that time is so worth it. I am now down to 80-100 dates a year and every year since the Summit we have had an increase in total revenue while reducing the number of dates each year. I have a wonderful balance with my family that I am convinced would NOT have happened had I not learned that information at that time.

Your friend & fan,
Kenn Kington

Watching Your Step When The Walk Looks Easy

Yes...That is a really yellow jacket.

Yes...That is a really yellow jacket.

Recently I was in Colorado with Ken Davis getting ready for his conference called DCW. We were at a place called the Glen Erie. The property sits in a box canyon and has a trail you can hike that takes you back to these incredible waterfalls.

As we hiked back through this trail I was taken back to hiking up canyons as a kid at summer camp in New Mexico. (I have a deep love for the mountains and New Mexico because of my camp experience.) As we hiked, Ken and I talked the whole way up.

Finally we came to a waterfall. It was beautiful and the setting around it was amazing. It’s hard to believe that we were standing 15 minutes from the nearest Starbucks. After we took it all in from, Ken lead me to the top of the waterfall by going up a very steep, rocky slope with a lot of loose gravel. Going up is pretty easy with the gravel and all.

Going down hill is another story.

We hung out up top for a bit then decided to come back down. As we started down I couldn’t help but think about a couple of things.

1.We generally think walking or running down hill is easier to do because gravity is on your side in a big way. But going down hill is where many runners and walkers can get hurt. The pressure on your knees and the impact is sometimes greater therefore making your knees potentially more unstable.

2.Because going down hill “seems” to be easier, we are less likely to pay attention to what is ahead of us. Sometimes the unexpected can happen when things seem easy and if we aren’t careful-we will slip up. In the case of running or walking, it could mean slipping literally and falling.

As Ken and I made our way back down, I noticed how much loose gravel there was and how very little places there were for sure footing. Every step had to be well placed and thought out. One bad step and the gravel could send us tumbling down about 100 feet which would be a very bad thing.

I guess, this made me think about how many times we find ourselves in what seems to be an easy place only to get caught of guard by something we would normally see coming.

I’m not one who is waiting for the other shoe to drop when times are easy and nice, but I am reminded that it pays to be on my game a bit more and take notice of where I’m headed and what I’m doing.

So as the down-hill-easy-times come, think about where you are, what you are doing, and where you are headed. Make each step count and enjoy the journey along the way.

Dynamic Communicators Workshop

The past two days I’ve been in colorado springs attending a conference on communication called Dynamic Communicators Workshop. The principles taught at the conference are valuable for creating marketing plans, writing articles and books as well as speaking. Speaking though is the biggest focus of this conference as it is the basis by which you learn how to use the principles you are taught.

If you are a creative type, a speaker, artist, executive, leader or any person that has to get up in front of people and speak, you should go through this course because it will help you fine tune your message and put you on the road to a successful time in front of your audience.

If you are a writer of any kind, you should go through this course because it will help you put your words into focus. Obviously I’m still trying to put my writing skills to good use and practice…editor please!

I went to one of the writing classes yesterday taught by Michele Cushatt. The class was a gold mine of information for a guy like me who is very much a hack writer at best and Michele is an awesome teacher, speaker and writer.(by the way Michele…I found your blog. Very nice!)

Dynamic Communicators Workshop is the brain child of Ken Davis. Ken is one of the funniest comedians I know. He is also one of the most gifted communicators I have ever heard. He is brilliant and knows what he is talking about. Thousands of people have been taught by Ken and his instructors and all walk away changed with great ideas of how to move forward in their abilities to communicate.

On a more personal side, I get to work with Ken through Compassion. He is a friend and he is someone I

look up too.

Check out his blog here and you can follow him on twitter here.

Every time I’m around Ken, I know the conversation is going to be good. He always takes to see how I’m doing and allows me the freedom to share what’s on my heart. In return, I learn so much from his life experiences.
