What actually makes an event organizer choose one speaker over another? In this episode of Getting Speakers Booked, Macy Baxi talks with Nick Rogers of TEDxOrlando about what makes speakers stand out — from the application to the stage.
Nick shares three things he looks for in great speakers:
• Message — Is your idea clear, original and relevant?
• Narrative — Can you bring the message to life through story?
• Stage Presence — Can you keep an audience engaged?
They also discuss how to make your speaker application stand out, why authenticity matters more than perfect writing, and how relying too heavily on AI can actually hide the voice and idea that make you different.
If you want to get booked for more speaking opportunities and get your message onto more stages, this episode is for you.
