How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.

CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE!

Program Description:

Organizations and individuals deal with change in three principal ways:

1. Most merely put up with change. They wait, react, and try to keep it at arms length. If they’re lucky, these are change idlers.
2. Some fight change and stay entrenched in old ways of thinking, acting, and leading. Often, these become change victims whose results, quality, and enthusiasm fall right off the charts.
3. Winners embrace and often anticipate, or even create change! These are change Champions! They recognize that standing still is actually going backwards. They understand that the best things they’ve ever experienced or accomplished came from change…doing things they’ve never done before and thinking in ways they never have before.

Becoming an organization of CHANGE CHAMPIONS injects tremendous energy, momentum, innovation, and vitality into everything you do. Your team members are EXCITED to come to work. They feel respected, appreciated, and engaged.

In this breakthrough presentation, every single participant will learn the simple but powerful keys to move from change idlers or victims to true CHANGE CHAMPIONS! They will experience the joy of positive change and of accomplishing things they didn’t know they could do! The result of this exciting presentation is a team that is more united, engaged, and focused on possibility rather than limits!

CONTROLLING THE CONTROLLABLES

Isn’t it time to stop focusing and worrying about what you DON’T control and shift energy to what you DO control?

Organizations and individuals who are winning in these challenging times are creating cultures of possibility, based upon every team member embracing personal responsibility for their effort, energy, and attitude.

Brian's friend and mentor, the legendary coach John Wooden often said: "Be more concerned with your CHARACTER than your reputation, for your character is who you ARE…Your reputation, only what others think you are." It is this focus on the key elements of your character that you actually control -- your effort, energy, and attitude -- that enables you and your team to breakthrough the fear of failure and replace it with an unstoppable determination to constantly improve. By doing so you will ensure that your character and reputation will become one!

Transform burn-out and stress to momentum and extraordinary results in your team as you learn to control the controllables!

How do you build trust, momentum, energy, and passion into every member of your team, whether you’re the long-time leader or the rawest rookie? And when the workday is done, how do you bring that same enthusiasm to your loved ones? Most importantly, how do you build these qualities within yourself?

In Building People! Brian Biro, America’s Breakthrough Coach guides you to exciting and fresh new approaches in using recognition, acknowledgement, and appreciation to build others.

Through wonderful stories and engaging activities, you’ll discover the most crucial keys to building trust and to helping everyone around you feel important and significant. You’ll learn the most surprising secret to elevate engagement and build leaders.

Along the way, you will never experience a presentation with greater energy than Building People! By the conclusion of the presentation you will be fired up to lift and ignite all those around you, whether your teammates and colleagues in your professional life or your loved ones at home.
