Creating Your Speaker Sheet

If you’re contacting places to speak, you want to create a sheet describing your background and experience as a speaker to give to them. This sheet is called your “Speaker Sheet.” It can be a one or two-sided sheet (my speaker sheet is two-sided). The person making the decision to hire speakers wants someone who will specialize in their particular type of audience. You want your Speaker Sheet to tell the potential client everything they need to know, so they will hire you.
Here’s what to include in your Speaker Sheet:
  • Your title across the top of the page
  • Your photo with brief bio
  • Testimonial under bio
  • Contact information to reach you
  • Testimonials listed on the right side of the page
  • Brief description of your speaking style (2nd page)
  • Topics you speak on (2nd page)
  • Contact information to reach you (2nd page)
  • Partial Client List on the right side of the page (2nd page)

Now you have what you need to create your own Speaker Sheet!
