The core speaking systems

The curriculum brings together frameworks for creating speeches, presenting them effectively and developing income around speaking engagements.

Storytelling and the $10,000 Story Formula

Craig’s nine-piece storytelling formula provides a structure for developing memorable stories that audiences can recall and repeat. The training explores how stories can become a recognizable part of a speaker’s presentations.

Premium keynotes and the nine-step system

A nine-step process guides the creation of keynote speeches, from positioning and structure to delivery. It addresses how to develop presentations for organizations that book professional speakers.

Modular speaking with the PARTS formula

The PARTS framework shows how to build speeches in adaptable sections. This modular approach is designed to help speakers adjust a presentation when opportunities arise at short notice.

Back-of-room sales and speaking revenue

A five-part method covers ethical selling from the stage and creating additional revenue streams around a speech, including a free engagement. The training discusses examples of $3,000 to $10,000 in sales per engagement; these figures are not guaranteed results.

Delivery devices and professional presence

Video demonstrations introduce 40 delivery devices used to shape the audience’s experience of a presentation. The techniques focus on the way a speaker presents material, beyond the content of the speech itself.

Organic humor, confidence and the greatness checklist

The course presents 33 ways to incorporate authentic humor while keeping the message in focus. Confidence training addresses speaking to audiences ranging from small workshops to large conferences.

A 49-point greatness checklist provides a guide to the visual, vocal and performance elements of professional speaking.
