Among thought leaders – but especially among professional speakers – one of the most common questions is, "How do I get represented by a speakers bureau?"   We've danced around this question on this show and covered many of the surrounding questions, such as "How do bureaus work?" and "What is it like to run a bureau?"   But the one we're focusing on in this episode – and the one that leads to that core, first question – is simple: What do bureaus look for when they're adding a speaker to their roster?   Here to answer that is the Managing Director of Speakers Corner and the former President of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB) Nick Gold.   With 20+ years of consulting experience, Nick has worked with over 7,500 speakers and services 1,000+ events per year. He's also been published extensively across UK media outlets, including The Telegraph, City AM, Huffington Post UK, GQ.com, and Raconteur.   Needless to say, Nick knows the speaking bureau business like the back of his hand AND what can make you stand out as a speaker looking for bureau representation.   This episode is jam-packed with industry insights, recommendations, and forecasting – Hope you learn as much from it as we did!   Show Notes:   ✅ Check out Nick's book "Speaking with Confidence": https://www.amazon.co.uk/Speaking-Confidence-Penguin-Business-Experts-ebook/dp/B085RR6C9Y/   ✅ Learn more about Speakers' Corner: https://www.speakerscorner.co.uk/

This is a replay episode from 2021 with the brilliant Cate Sevilla! She is currently editor in chief of Huffington Post UK and author of How to Work Without Losing Your Mind. The book is a relatable and reassuring guide to the messy, stressful and sometimes bizarre side of work that everyone experiences but no one talks about. I loved this book because it's for people who don't necessarily want work to take over their lives, people who don't necessarily want to keep climbing a ladder or taking over the world, it's for people who simply would like to be a bit happier at work every day. If you enjoyed this conversation, please do leave a little review somewhere!

Get in touch with Nick: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickgold/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpeakersNick About Nick Gold: With a firm belief that successful events which deliver maximum ROI for both attendees and organisers can be held anywhere, even a cow shed, Nick Gold draws on his 20+ years consulting experience working with 8,000 speakers and servicing 1,000+ events per year to address the pain-points and opportunities that exist for event professionals.  With a background in the era of the first dotcom boom and bust, and then some more ‘grounded' work life with a major FTSE100 company in IT and project management, Nick found himself in the mid-1990s looking for the opportunity to grow his own company and create something new.  And so his story with Speakers Corner began. Initially a bespoke entertainment bookings agency, Nick has turned the business into a market-leading speaker bureau and consultancy working with 6,500+ speakers and servicing 1,000+ events each year, which sits at the heart of the events industry  Nick also manages the business with his brother Tim, which also makes him well placed to comment on how family and business can work together!  Nick Gold was the first British President of the International Association of Speaker Bureaus (IASB) from April 2020 – April 2021. Nick was formerly the Chairman of the EASB (European Association of Speaker Bureaus). He has spoken at major industry events including Confex and The Meetings Show, and has been published extensively across UK media outlets, including: The Telegraph, City AM, Huffington Post UK, GQ.com and Raconteur. He has also been interviewed by the BBC and LBC radio.  Before his Speakers Corner adventure began in the mid-1990s, Nick previously worked in the energy sector at Power Costs Inc. (PCI) and Centrica, where he specialised in project management, business development, business analysis and bid tendering.   A warm character who speaks with passion and authority on content, the events industry and measuring ROI, not to mention entrepreneurship, managing SME's, creating an inclusive culture and motivating a workforce to go above and beyond, Nick inspires audience interaction with questions from the floor during his sessions and delights in sharing stories with delegates after the talk has finished.

In April 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, close to 1.6 billion children and youth were out of school due to temporary closures, representing more than 90% of students around the world, according to the United Nations. In this episode, we take an international perspective with our guests Arif Naveed, Aya Waller-Bey, and Sara Allen. We discuss the double-edged sword of education systems around the world, for example, the US and Pakistan: how education both preserves inequality and how it can help us to overcome inequality. Arif Naveed explores how the underlying social hierarchy that shapes day-to-day living also impacts the economic outcomes of schooling. Aya Waller-Bey talks about quality as opposed to simple access to education. Access depends on deep structural factors that mean opportunity is not equally distributed. Sara Allan gets us thinking about changing the way that institutions organise instruction and the role of the teacher. Would more of a student-centered approach improve access and inclusion in schools?This episode was produced by Nick Saffell, Lucy Allen, and Rachel Gardner Dalton.

Matt, Nav, and Kyle dive into the realities of our inequitable healthcare system and the opportunities to reimagine our systems to be truly community-based. They explore the ins and outs of organizing for equity within healthcare institutions - and ultimately argue for an expanded, interconnected definition of "health" that invites everyone into the work of health equity and offers a more holistic view of healthcare. Kyle shares his work on global health equity that involve community members on a grassroots level. Nav shares lessons learned around organizing within the healthcare system from his innovative approach to behavioral healthcare and addiction treatment. Nav, Kyle, and Matt explore how COVID has highlighted parts of the current system that concentrate power within formal healthcare institutions to the detriment of many communities, particularly low-income communities and Black and brown communities. They then shift to thinking through how to democratize the healthcare system so that it can be driven by community members and address these inequities from the ground up.

Roz Morris - The Enfield Poltergeist is the name given to seemingly supernatural activity at 284 Green Street, a council house in Brimsdown, Enfield, England between 1977 and 1979 involving two sisters, aged 11 and 13. Some members of the Society for Psychical Research such as inventor Maurice Grosse and writer Guy Lyon Playfair believed the haunting to be genuine, while others such as Anita Gregory and John Beloff were "unconvinced" and found evidence the girls had faked incidents for the benefit of reporters. Members of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, including stage magicians such as Milbourne Christopher, Joe Nickell and Bob Couttie, reviewed the case and criticised paranormal investigators for being overly credulous whilst also identifying features of the case as being indicative of a hoax. Roz Morris has many years' experience as a broadcaster and media trainer. She co-founded TV News London in 1992 and is an accredited trainer for the Independent Television Association. She has been a news reporter, newsreader and programme presenter for BBC TV, ITN, Thames TV, and Tyne Tees TV, where she was the first woman in the North East of England to be the regular presenter of the weekly political and business programme. She also worked as a correspondent for BBC Scotland, based in Edinburgh, and for RTE (Irish national radio and TV) as a London Correspondent. She has been a reporter and presenter for LBC/IRN and BBC Radio News, a feature writer for the Evening Standard and a staff reporter and feature writer for The Observer and The Guardian, where she was the youngest reporter on both papers. As well as being a leading media trainer, she is currently a blogger for TV News London and the Huffington Post UK on media matters.

On this episode of "By Any Means Necessary" hosts Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by Ben Norton, a journalist with The Grayzone and co-host of the Moderate Rebels podcast, to talk about the Huffington Post UK editor working with a British government censorship program while smearing anti-war scholars as Russian dupes, how the case is indicative of the relationship between NATO's intelligence agencies and the most widely-viewed media outlets, and why their latest attack on journalists and academics serves as a microcosm of the growing censorship campaign against critics of imperialism.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dan Kovalik, author of the upcoming book “No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian Intervention' to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests," to talk about his latest documentary, "Nicaragua: The April Crisis & Beyond," why the mainstream media is wrong to blame Sandinistas for the 2018 eruption of chaos and violence in that country, how roadblocks erected by the opposition to overthrow the government became hotbeds of rape and murder, the US government's role in the coup attempt in Nicaragua, and how his documentary attempts to highlight the achievements of the Sandinista government in Nicaragua in the face of unceasing imperialist aggression.In the third segment, Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by James Early, Former Director of Cultural Heritage Policy at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution and board member of the Institute for Policy Studies, to explain how the seemingly endless impeachment charade exposes the crisis facing the political establishment and why the 'resistance' gestures theatrically towards opposing Trump while voting for his policies.Later in the show, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Dan Cohen, a journalist and filmmaker with In The Now, to talk about why supporters of Bernie Sanders seem to terrify the Democratic establishment so much, the emerging battle between independent media and the liberal press, the parallels between the breakdown of political duopolies in the US and the UK, why many socialists defend Sanders from mainstream attacks even though by many standards he is a relatively moderate candidate, the factors shaping the alternative world order emerging in the shadows of US imperialism and the parallels between the self-coronation of Pete Buttigieg in Iowa, Juan Guaido's in Venezuela and Jeanine Áñez's in Bolivia.

Over the past thirteen years, Rob Tarbell has developed and drawn from two unique processes – “Smokes”, smoke based work and the “Struggles”, porcelain sculptural ceramics.In 2006, a failed portrait attempt using cigarettes and liquor collided with a lingering what – if : What if I burned my credits cards and used the smoke to make marks?The first attempt at burning credit cards yielded a deep black with seductive wispy grays no brush could deliver. Tarbell’s penchant for embracing unorthodox methods and materials was then fully focused on the potential of capturing and creating with smoke. He continues to pioneer and push his smoke technique through rigorous trial and error and with the adaptation of tools and the creation of equipment to suit each new discovery and advance of the smoke process. To create the smoke, credit cards, gift cards, and, now, 35mm slides of his artwork are burned - removing their growing presence in daily life - an ironic nod to a self-help technique of burning sentimental things to remove their emotional burden or historical connection. The smoke process involves directly permitting or preventing its accumulation, or by indirectly encouraging or discouraging the flow of smoke on the surface. The Struggles are sculptural ceramic figures created by infusing fabrics and faux fur with porcelain slip, forming, then firing.

BENZO FREE LINKSWebsitePodcast Home PageFeedback FormDisclaimer Podcast Summary This podcast is dedicated to those who struggle with side effects, dependence, and withdrawal from benzos, a group of drugs from the benzodiazepine and nonbenzodiazepine classes, better known as anti-anxiety drugs, sleeping pills, sedatives, and minor tranquilizers. Their common brand names include Ambien, Ativan, Klonopin, Lunesta, Valium, and Xanax. Introduction In today's intro, we tackle the subject of suicide. I share a story about a book I've been listening to, Robin by David Itzkoff, and about how hearing about his tragic death triggered my emotions this past weekend. I then compared his story with mine and others and reminded people that benzo withdrawal is not a terminal diagnosis, not by a long shot. This illness is temporary, and if you are having suicidal thoughts, to seek help and get support. Benzo Stories Today's benzo story was from Lynn in the United Kingdom.

You know when you meet someone and their deep perspective changes your life? This is how I feel about today’s guest on the show. Twelve years ago, Sarah Pierson’s life took a tragic turn when she lost her husband in a plane crash at only 29 years old. Having to reinvent a new version of her life, she quit her job as a teacher in the suburbs outside of Chicago, began traveling the world, and adopted a philanthropic mindset. Sarah published a book in 2012, Young Widow: A Memoir. She was a contributing author to the book Mother of Pearl: Luminous Lessons and Iridescent Faith. And she is an on-going contributor to the Huffington Post UK, and multiple on-line travel magazines. Sarah shares with us her best tips on resiliency, how she embraced travel and running as her preferred coping strategies in the wake of tragedy, and why it was imperative that she found an incredible community around her to support her when she needed it the most. She continues to use her story to help others. Her message to the world is to live life wholeheartedly because you never know what is going to happen and you have to be adaptable. And you really can’t get anywhere without practicing gratitude. You have to CHOOSE to keep moving forward each and every day. -- Subscribe NOW and never miss an episode!

Sara Bussandri is an Italian mum of 3 boys aged 9, 6, and 3 and lives in London, UK. Throughout her pregnancies and around maternity leave Sara continued her career as Business Analyst. But by 2016 the heavy pace of holding down a career, raising three boys and running a household took its toll. The stress and overwhelm of being on the hamster wheel of life made her feel like she was in survival mode and consequently felt unfulfilled in all areas of her life. Things had to change, but it took a (literal) bang to her head to jolt her into making the difficult decision to take a break from her work. With a broken leg, she started a blog and carved out a new career as a freelance writer and soon-to-be author which gave her the freedom and flexibility to work around her children. She now writes passionately on her Mind Your Mamma blog as well as for various publications, including the Huffington Post UK about her journey on the path to self-awareness and self-discovery. Her path to a better life was long, slow and painful, but ultimately successful. Today she shares her transformation from living on ‘auto-pilot' to creating a more mindful and intentional life for herself and her family.

Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins has had seven Number One albums and sung around the world to huge audiences, but is a self-described 'newbie' to acting. Making her stage debut in the English National Opera's Carousel, she talks to John about her love of Rodgers and Hammerstein, learning an American accent and her dressing-room nerves.Netflix has replaced its users' star ratings with a simple thumbs up or down because, they say, the five-star system had begun to feel antiquated.

In April 2015, an underground safe deposit facility in London's Hatton Garden was burgled. Estimates for the amount stolen range from £25m to £200m, but the heist became as notorious for the gang of ex-criminals in their 60s and 70s who carried it off, as it did for the theft itself. John Wilson visits the vault where the burglary took place to talk to the stars of a new film about the story - Larry Lamb, who plays the group's ringleader, and Phil Daniels who plays the youngest criminal of the group.

Millions of American Christians are unaware of the plight of the city of Bethlehem and its Palestinian inhabitants in the West Bank of Palestine. The Israeli built separation wall snakes its way around Bethlehem, even cutting off Palestinians from their own land and nearby Jerusalem. This story is courageously told by Palestinian filmmaker, Leila Sansour in her Open, Bethlehem documentary that is part of a campaign to educate her fellow Christians and the world about the stranglehold by Israel that is slowly causing Palestinian Christians to leave the Holy Land because of the hardships imposed by the military occupation. To increase the awareness of what is happening to Bethlehem, a Bethlehem Passport is being issued by the OPEN BETHLEHEM campaign in partnership with the Governorate of Bethlehem.  So far, the passport has been granted to more than 500 people around the world, including church leaders and heads of states, such as Archbishop Rowan Williams, Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President Jimmy Carter. The passport states: “In that the bearer of this passport is a citizen of Bethlehem; that they recognize this ancient city provides a light to the world, and to all people who uphold the values of a just and open society; that they will remain a true friend to Bethlehem through its imprisonment, and that they will strive to keep the ideals of Bethlehem alive as long as the wall stands; we ask you to respect the bearer of the passport and to let them pass freely.” Showings of Open, Bethlehem are starting in the United States after a successful introduction in the UK. Check the website for showings, or the complete documentary can be seen on line (Click Here). This is the 4 minute trailer.  For more information on Liela Sansour's campaign to bring down the wall around Bethlehem check out the Huffington Post UK article.
